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

Météo-France Guyane is the official regional weather service for French Guiana, providing comprehensive meteorological forecasts, alerts, and climate information to the general public. The website is part of the broader Météo-France network, reflecting strong government affiliation and trust. The digital infrastructure is built on Drupal CMS with modern web technologies including Leaflet.js for interactive maps and a robust consent management system ensuring GDPR compliance. The site demonstrates good technical maturity with HTTPS, security headers, and performance optimizations. However, explicit contact information and detailed security or privacy policies are not prominently available, which could be improved. Overall, the security posture is strong with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but the absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts suggests room for enhancement. The website is safe for general audiences and maintains consistent branding aligned with official government standards.

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. 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

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Météo-France Guyane operates as a government essential service focused on meteorological data dissemination. Its market position is authoritative within French Guiana, leveraging the parent organization's reputation. The business model is public service funded and operated by Météo-France, targeting residents and stakeholders requiring weather and climate information. The partnership ecosystem includes regional Météo-France sites for Martinique and Guadeloupe, and public data portals. The website's content quality and navigation support effective user engagement, though direct contact channels are limited. Growth indicators include integration of advanced mapping and consent technologies, reflecting ongoing digital modernization.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a consent management platform that aligns with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and responsiveness to security incidents. The site would benefit from formalizing these aspects to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the risk level is low, but strategic improvements in security governance are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Add explicit contact details such as official emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal CMS, utilizing Leaflet.js for interactive weather maps and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Consent management is handled by Didomi SDK, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized. SEO and accessibility are basic to good, with room for improvement in accessibility standards. Hosting appears to be managed by or affiliated with Météo-France or French government infrastructure, ensuring reliability. Technical risks are minimal, but modernization opportunities exist in enhancing accessibility and formalizing security governance.
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.
