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

Métropole du Grand Paris is a governmental entity responsible for metropolitan governance and development in the Greater Paris area, established in 2016. The website serves as an official portal providing information and services related to urban planning, transport, economic development, and environmental management for residents and stakeholders in the region. The site is professionally designed using Drupal 10 CMS and incorporates modern web technologies such as FontAwesome Pro icons and Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking. The website is accessible, mobile-optimized, and presents a trustworthy digital presence consistent with a public sector organization. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and security headers indicates areas for improvement in compliance and security transparency.

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.

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 Métropole du Grand Paris holds a key position as a regional government authority in France, focusing on metropolitan administration and public services. Its business model is centered on public governance rather than commercial revenue generation. The website targets local residents, businesses, and governmental stakeholders, providing essential services and information. The domain registration aligns with the entity's founding date, reinforcing legitimacy. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a preference for privacy-respecting data collection. The lack of visible contact details and formal policies may limit user engagement and trust in digital interactions. Strategic partnerships or related domains were not identified in the provided data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable registrar with domain transfer protections, indicating a baseline security posture. The inclusion of client-side cookie consent scripts suggests some awareness of privacy requirements. However, the absence of detected security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosures, incident response contacts, or security policies are published, which could hinder effective security incident management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for public inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response procedures.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a solid technical foundation. The use of FontAwesome Pro icons enhances visual consistency and branding. Matomo analytics is integrated for user tracking with a focus on privacy. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design principles. Hosting appears to be managed via Gandi registrar and Claradns name servers, suggesting reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and language alternates. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected in the provided content.
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.
