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

Montenbus is a local on-demand transport service operated by the Communauté de Communes Pays du Mont-Blanc, serving multiple communes in the Mont-Blanc region of France. The service targets residents, secondary residents, vacationers, and persons with reduced mobility, offering subscription-based access with flexible reservation options via phone and a dedicated mobile app. The website presents a professional and user-friendly interface with clear information on tariffs, service operation, and accessibility features. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and integrates common plugins for SEO, analytics, and user interaction. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, though additional security headers could enhance protection. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, supporting user trust. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data reduces domain transparency, which is a minor concern given the official nature of the service and partner endorsements.

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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

Montenbus operates in the transportation sector as a public community service, focusing on flexible, demand-responsive transit solutions. Its business model relies on subscription fees with differentiated pricing for various user categories, including social and mobility-impaired groups. The service leverages partnerships with local government entities and private service providers, enhancing its operational reach and legitimacy. The website supports user engagement through online registration, reservation platforms, and clear contact channels. The presence of regional government and community logos indicates strong institutional backing. Growth potential lies in expanding user adoption and enhancing digital service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of security-related plugins like Cookie Notice indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be addressed to improve transparency and readiness. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could benefit from enhanced security controls and formal vulnerability management disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  5. Increase transparency by ensuring WHOIS domain registration data is publicly available or justified if privacy protected.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and responsive design. It integrates several plugins for enhanced user experience, including lightbox galleries, PDF flipbooks, cookie consent management, and popup forms. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for traffic analysis and marketing insights. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive layouts and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing assets and leveraging caching. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized community service websites, balancing ease of management with functional requirements.
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.
