Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.mediatheques-plainecommune.fr serves as the online presence for Médiathèques Plaine Commune, a public media library network likely serving the Plaine Commune area in France. The site provides cultural and educational resources to the general public, positioning itself as a government or public service entity. The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS and utilizes Matomo Analytics with DoNotTrack enabled, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as the lack of security headers, indicates room for improvement in compliance and security practices. The WHOIS data is not publicly available, suggesting privacy protection, which is common for public institutions but reduces transparency. Overall, the site is functional and safe but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy disclosures.

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

7 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 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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

Médiathèques Plaine Commune operates in the government sector, providing media library services to the local community. The business model is likely publicly funded, focusing on cultural enrichment and education. The website targets general public users interested in accessing library resources. The use of Drupal CMS and Matomo analytics indicates a preference for open-source and privacy-respecting technologies. The lack of detailed business information, contact details, and certifications on the site limits the ability to fully assess market positioning and growth potential. There are no detected partnerships or subsidiaries linked from the site. The site’s content and design are basic but consistent with a public service entity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Matomo Analytics with DoNotTrack enabled, which is positive for user privacy. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected in the provided data, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The absence of visible privacy and cookie policies may also represent compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and handling of security issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Ensure SSL/TLS configuration is strong and enforce HTTPS site-wide.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Increase transparency by publishing WHOIS data or providing organizational information to improve legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely used CMS platform, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses Matomo Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool, and Font Awesome 6 Pro for iconography. The site appears to be mobile optimized and uses canonical and shortlink tags for SEO. However, no detailed performance metrics or hosting provider information was found. The site’s accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, with room for improvement in metadata completeness and structured data usage. The absence of security headers and privacy policies suggests technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
