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

The website www.moselle.fr is the official digital presence of the Moselle department, a regional government entity in France. It serves as a comprehensive portal for news, events, administrative services, and information about the department's missions, social programs, and cultural activities. The site targets residents and stakeholders within the Moselle region, providing them with relevant and timely information. The business model is that of a government public service platform, focusing on transparency and citizen engagement. Technically, the site is built on the Jalios JCMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Bootstrap for responsive design, Font Awesome for icons, and Less.js for CSS preprocessing. It integrates accessibility features and SEO best practices, with a moderate performance profile. The site includes cookie consent management via Tarteaucitron and uses Piwik for analytics, indicating a moderate level of user tracking. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or terms of service pages. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, which could be improved. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but is likely due to AFNIC policies. Overall, the site demonstrates a good security posture for a government website. The overall risk assessment is moderate with recommendations to enhance transparency through privacy and terms policies, improve security headers, and publish vulnerability disclosure information. These steps will strengthen user trust and compliance with data protection regulations.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Moselle department operates as a government entity providing regional services and information. Its market position is that of an official authority with a large audience comprising local residents and public stakeholders. The website supports multiple sectors including social services, culture, education, environment, and tourism. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official status and comprehensive content. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and analytics providers. Growth indicators include active content updates and event promotions. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved privacy and security transparency to align with modern compliance standards.

Security posture

The website maintains a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces readiness for handling security incidents. The site does not provide a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program, which are recommended best practices. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be improved with enhanced headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to provide granular user control and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Jalios JCMS, a specialized CMS for content management, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and Less.js for CSS preprocessing. It integrates accessibility features and SEO optimizations, including structured data via JSON-LD. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts like ReadSpeaker and Piwik analytics. The site is mobile optimized and has clear navigation structures. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts without visible security headers and missing privacy documentation. Modernization opportunities include adding security headers and improving privacy compliance documentation.
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.
