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

The website www.notaires.fr is the official portal for Notaires de France, managed by the Conseil supérieur du notariat. It serves as a comprehensive resource for legal and notarial information, targeting the general public, businesses, and government entities in France. The site offers extensive content on donations, successions, real estate, family law, and business-related legal services, supported by interactive tools and online services such as apostille processing and mediation. The website is well-branded, professionally designed, and consistent with its official government affiliation. Technically, the site is built on the Drupal CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and SVG icons for a responsive and accessible user experience. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is strong, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is robust, with clear privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure suitable for a government-affiliated entity, with strong trust indicators and a high level of professionalism. The lack of public WHOIS data is consistent with AFNIC privacy norms for French domains and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Contact is primarily via secure forms rather than direct emails or phone numbers, aligning with best practices for public service websites.

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

5 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • 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

The Conseil supérieur du notariat operates this site as an essential government-related service providing authoritative legal information and notarial services in France. Its market position is that of the official source for notarial matters, with a business model focused on public service and information dissemination rather than commercial transactions. The site supports a broad audience including individuals, businesses, and local authorities. Revenue streams are not commercial but likely funded by government or professional bodies. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliated sites such as csn.notaires.fr and adsn.notaires.fr, enhancing service offerings. Growth indicators include regular content updates, interactive tools, and active social media engagement. Strategic observations highlight the site's role in digital transformation of public legal services and its emphasis on accessibility and compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and comprehensive security headers such as HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. Forms include CSRF protections and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML source. The site uses a reputable CMS (Drupal) with no detected vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could be improved. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could enhance transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information or abuse reporting channels.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Maintain regular updates of Drupal core and modules to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and auditing of third-party scripts and tracking services.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging modern frontend technologies including JavaScript and SVG for icons and interactive sliders (Splide.js). The HTML structure is valid and includes accessibility features such as ARIA roles and labels. Performance is moderate, with responsive design optimized for mobile devices. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta viewport tags, and structured data (JSON-LD BreadcrumbList). The hosting provider is not explicitly identified in the content. The site uses AT Internet for analytics, indicating moderate user tracking. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve performance and security transparency.
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.
