Risk levelHigh

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

neteXpose SARL is a small French technology company specializing in network discovery and assessment software solutions. Their flagship product, DNA, offers automated IP network device discovery, topology visualization, and lifecycle assessment, targeting network managers and IT professionals managing complex enterprise networks. The company operates primarily on a software licensing and support services business model, with a niche market position focused on automated network documentation and assessment tools. The website is built on WordPress with common plugins and presents professional content relevant to its audience. However, the technical infrastructure shows signs of aging, including the absence of HTTPS and use of outdated JavaScript libraries, which impacts security posture. Contact information and legal pages are clearly provided, but privacy compliance is limited due to missing cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is functional and informative but requires modernization and security enhancements to meet current 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

10 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 company has maintained a consistent online presence since 2003, indicating stability and experience in the network assessment domain. Their product offerings focus on automated network discovery and lifecycle reporting, which appeals to enterprises needing comprehensive network visibility. The lack of social media presence and limited marketing tools suggests a focused, possibly B2B-centric approach relying on direct sales or partnerships. The hosting by Scaleway SAS and domain registration details align with a legitimate small business. Growth potential may be enhanced by improving digital marketing and security compliance. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website, indicating potential for expansion in strategic alliances.

Security posture

The website currently lacks HTTPS, exposing users to potential interception risks. No security headers are implemented, and the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces vulnerabilities. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy compliance indicators further weakens the security and privacy posture. No published security policies or incident response contacts are available, which may impact trust for security-conscious clients. While domain registration is consistent and stable, technical security improvements are necessary to protect both the company and its customers. The current security score is low, reflecting these gaps.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS across the entire website with valid SSL/TLS certificates to secure data in transit.
  2. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Develop and publish a cookie policy and implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations.
  5. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using plugins like NextGEN Gallery and Contact Form 7, indicating a standard PHP-based infrastructure. The tech stack includes older versions of jQuery and lacks HTTPS, which are technical debts that pose security risks. Hosting is provided by Scaleway SAS, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Modernization opportunities include upgrading libraries, enabling HTTPS, and improving mobile responsiveness and accessibility.
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.
