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. 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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Medialex operates in the legal and administrative services sector, targeting businesses requiring compliance with French legal publication and administrative formalities. Their business model leverages online platforms for service delivery, including legal announcements and formalities management. The company demonstrates strong market positioning with notable clients such as Vinci and Veolia. Revenue streams likely include service fees for announcements, formalities, and digital register management. The partnership ecosystem includes subdomains dedicated to specific services, enhancing customer experience. Growth indicators include a large volume of legal announcements published annually and multiple agencies across France. Strategic observations suggest a focus on digital transformation of legal services and compliance facilitation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of a consent management platform (Didomi) for GDPR compliance. Use of Google Tag Manager and Piano Analytics indicates modern analytics practices with user consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not found and should be implemented to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No incident response or security policy pages were identified, which could be improved to demonstrate security governance. Overall, the site is secure for its business purpose but could benefit from additional security best practices documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.
  4. Improve accessibility features to comply with standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider publishing terms of service and data protection officer contact details to improve compliance and user trust.

The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern web fonts. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility.

Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for further optimization and security enhancements.
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.
