Le Mans Métropole · Government · France

Medium risk. 7 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

63/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Le Mans Métropole operates as a French metropolitan government entity providing local administrative and public services to the Le Mans area. The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks such as Nuxt.js and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. However, the provided HTML snapshot is minimal, indicating a server-side rendered SPA with dynamic content loading. The absence of WHOIS data from AFNIC limits transparency about domain registration details. Security posture is moderate with no visible security headers or explicit SSL configuration details, and privacy compliance is low due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site appears legitimate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices.

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.

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

Le Mans Métropole holds a regional government position serving residents and visitors of the Le Mans metropolitan area. Its business model is public service oriented, focusing on local administration and community information. The website's technical infrastructure leverages Nuxt.js and TYPO3 CMS backend APIs, indicating a modern but basic digital maturity. The lack of visible contact information and policies suggests room for improvement in user engagement and compliance. The partnership with the related domain www.lemans.fr indicates a connected municipal ecosystem. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not applicable given the government nature of the entity.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic to moderate. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR and NIS2 regulations. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, but no explicit data retention or privacy compliance details are provided. Enhancing security headers, enforcing HTTPS, and publishing clear privacy and incident response policies would improve the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add visible contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and incident reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Establish and communicate an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Nuxt.js framework with server-side rendering and dynamic JavaScript loading. TYPO3 CMS is used as backend API provider. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and tracking. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks accessibility and SEO enhancements. No hosting provider information is available. The technical stack is modern but basic, with opportunities to improve SEO metadata, accessibility features, and security configurations to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
