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

MarchesOnline is a French online platform specializing in providing access to public and private tender notices, including public procurement and adapted procedures (MAPA). It serves as a reference site for businesses and professionals seeking to monitor and respond to over 400,000 market notices across various sectors in France. The website targets companies involved in services, public works, studies, and supplies, positioning itself as a key player in the French government and business procurement ecosystem. Technically, the site is built using modern JavaScript frameworks (Nuxt.js) and integrates monitoring and analytics tools such as New Relic and Google Tag Manager, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as incomplete WHOIS data, suggests areas for improvement in compliance and transparency. Security posture is moderate with no evident blocking or WAF mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and policies. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and clearer business contact information to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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 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 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, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs, Google Ads

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

  3. 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

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

MarchesOnline operates in the government sector, focusing on public procurement and tender information dissemination. Its business model revolves around providing a comprehensive database of tender notices and related services to businesses and public entities in France. The platform leverages partnerships with numerous buyers and public organizations, as evidenced by displayed logos and detailed tender data. The target customer segments include contractors, suppliers, and service providers seeking market opportunities. While the site demonstrates a solid market position as a reference portal, the lack of explicit company registration and contact details may limit its perceived credibility. Growth potential exists through enhanced transparency, expanded service offerings, and improved compliance with data protection regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. It uses HTTPS and integrates third-party monitoring tools like New Relic for performance and error tracking. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No explicit privacy or security policies are found, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The WHOIS data is incomplete, which may raise concerns about domain legitimacy. There are no signs of malware or phishing, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms detected. To enhance security, the site should implement standard security headers, publish clear privacy and security policies, and provide contact channels for incident reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) with server-side rendering capabilities, enhancing SEO and performance. It uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics (Google Tag Manager, New Relic) and privacy management (Privacy Center SDK). The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS is explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. The technical stack supports scalability but requires better implementation of security best practices and privacy compliance features to reduce technical debt and regulatory risks.
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.
