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

AW Solutions operates a French public procurement dematerialization platform aggregating over 70,000 annual calls for tenders and related services. The platform targets public sector buyers and suppliers, offering functionalities such as buyer profiles, electronic signature, and AI-powered sourcing. The business is positioned as an important player in the government sector digital services market in France, supported by legal experts and related entities such as awsolutions.fr and aws-france.com. Technically, the website uses a modern but basic tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, and Matomo, with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by adding security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is not publicly available due to TLD limitations and privacy protection, but the domain is active and appears legitimate based on content and business model. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with room for technical and security enhancements.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 company leverages a platform business model focused on public procurement digitalization, serving both public buyers and private suppliers. Its competitive advantage lies in the volume of aggregated tenders and integration of AI and sourcing tools. Revenue likely derives from subscription or service fees for buyer profiles and supplier alerts. The partnership ecosystem includes awsolutions.fr and aws-france.com, indicating a broader corporate group. Growth indicators include a large number of visits and active tenders. The company targets French public sector entities and businesses seeking public contracts, positioning itself as a key facilitator in this niche market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no contact channels for security issues are provided. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via linked privacy policies on a related domain, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The lack of WHOIS transparency is mitigated by the professional nature of the site and business. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhanced headers, explicit policies, and improved privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.
  5. Consider publishing WHOIS or registrant information if legally permissible to increase transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard technology stack with jQuery, Bootstrap 3.4.1, Font Awesome, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Matomo. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is basic but could be improved. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers, indicating some technical debt. Modernization opportunities include upgrading Bootstrap version, enhancing accessibility, and implementing security best practices to reduce risks and improve compliance.
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.
