0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Le Mouvement pour l’économie solidaire is a French non-profit organization founded in 2002 that promotes and supports the social and solidarity economy (ESS) through networking, advocacy, and member engagement. The website serves as a platform to inform, recruit members, and share news and resources related to the ESS sector in France. The organization holds a historic and transversal position within the French ESS ecosystem, actively participating in national and European networks. Technically, the website is built on the SPIP CMS platform, using jQuery and AddThis for social sharing, with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is average, with HTTPS assumed but lacking modern security headers and updated libraries. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and user protection.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization targets citizens, collectives, and actors involved in local and national economic solidarity initiatives. Its business model is based on non-profit advocacy, networking, and promotion of ESS principles. The website highlights key services such as advocacy, networking, event organization, and support for local initiatives. The organization is well-positioned within the French ESS sector, with memberships in ESS France and RIPESS Europe. The website content quality and branding are consistent and professional, supporting the organization's credibility. However, the lack of WHOIS transparency and privacy policies may impact stakeholder trust. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized ESS networks and local partners, reinforcing its market presence.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are critical for mitigating common web attacks. The use of an older jQuery library may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not updated. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency on security governance. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent or GDPR indicators. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies and implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Obtain and publish WHOIS information or use a registrar that provides transparent domain registration data to improve legitimacy and trust.
  5. Develop and communicate a security policy and incident response plan to demonstrate commitment to security governance and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SPIP CMS platform, a French open-source CMS, with jQuery and AddThis scripts for interactivity and social sharing. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO, but lacks modern accessibility features and advanced SEO optimizations. Performance is moderate, with some potential for improvement in mobile responsiveness and loading speed. The absence of security headers and outdated JavaScript libraries represent technical debt and security risks. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
