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

MASE FRANCE et INTERNATIONAL operates as a certification network specializing in health, safety, and environmental management systems for industrial and service companies. Established in 2013, it has a medium-sized presence primarily in France with international reach. The organization provides pragmatic SSE certification, training through MASE Académie, and facilitates sharing of best practices to reduce workplace accidents. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with modern plugins and offers multilingual downloadable resources. Social media engagement is active across LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Technically, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit privacy and terms of service policies. Security headers are not detected, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, indicating areas for improvement in security posture and compliance. Overall, the website is trustworthy and credible but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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 business is positioned as a key player in the SSE certification sector, targeting industrial and service companies seeking to improve workplace safety and environmental protection. Its business model revolves around membership and certification services, supported by partnerships with reputable organizations such as France Chimie and UIMM. The presence of local associations and international links suggests a broad operational footprint. The website content and downloadable materials indicate a focus on education, certification standards, and community engagement. The lack of direct contact details on the homepage may limit immediate customer engagement but is offset by active social media channels. The company demonstrates stable domain registration and consistent branding, reinforcing its market credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit privacy policy or incident response information is available, which could hinder compliance and incident management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The security posture is moderate to good but requires enhancements in policy transparency and technical security controls to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries, including a designated Data Protection Officer if applicable.
  4. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with popular plugins such as LayerSlider, WPBakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution, indicating a modern and flexible CMS infrastructure. The use of Google Fonts and CDN-hosted libraries supports performance and aesthetics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility features. The hosting is managed via IONOS SE with DNS servers from ui-dns.biz/com/de/org. No critical technical issues were detected, but improvements in security headers and privacy documentation are recommended to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
