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

Libre Association is a small non-profit working group under the April organization, dedicated to bridging the associative sector and free software. The website provides educational content, community resources, and practical guides to promote free software usage among associations, primarily targeting French-speaking users. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, leveraging SPIP CMS and Bootstrap frameworks. It uses Matomo analytics configured with privacy considerations, reflecting a moderate digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage implied, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. No contact information or incident response channels are provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy and safe, with no adult or questionable content detected.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. 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';…

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 website operates within the non-profit sector, focusing on advocacy and community support for free software in associations. Its market position is niche but well-aligned with its parent organization April, a recognized entity in the free software community. The business model is based on information dissemination and community engagement rather than commercial revenue. Partnerships with related non-profit sites enhance its ecosystem. The absence of direct contact details and formal policies suggests a primarily informational role rather than transactional. Growth potential lies in expanding community engagement and formalizing compliance and security practices.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The use of Matomo analytics with extended cookie timeout indicates some privacy awareness, but absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies is a compliance gap. No vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial informational site but could be improved to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on SPIP CMS version 4.4.4, using Bootstrap 3 for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Matomo analytics with privacy-conscious settings. The site loads multiple JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements such as mediabox and porte plume. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. No forms are present, indicating limited data collection. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
