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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Mairie d'Appoigny operates as a small government entity focused on serving the local population of Appoigny, France. Its business model centers on providing transparent access to municipal information and facilitating citizen engagement through digital services. The website's integration with regional and departmental partners indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The site’s content and services target local residents, municipal employees, and visitors, supporting administrative formalities, community events, and public communication. The digital presence supports the municipality's strategic goals of accessibility, transparency, and community involvement.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place. The use of CSRF tokens in forms is a positive security control. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts, which could enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a municipal website but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and formalized security documentation.
Recommendations
Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
Regularly update all third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
Enhance monitoring and auditing processes to proactively detect and respond to security incidents.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on Joomla CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 5, jQuery, Vue.js, and Font Awesome for UI components and icons. It uses Slick Slider and Flexslider for interactive content display. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and scripts from CDNJS and jsDelivr, indicating a reliance on reputable external resources. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and deferred execution improving load times. Accessibility features such as font size adjustment and contrast toggling are implemented, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. The site is mobile optimized and provides a consistent user experience across devices. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is lacking.
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.
