It provides residents and visitors with comprehensive information about local governance, public services, community news, and administrative procedures. The site targets local citizens and stakeholders, offering a user-friendly platform to access municipal resources and engage with the community.

From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles.

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

4 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.

    • 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

  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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 18 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  4. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 municipal website operates within the government sector, serving a small-sized local community in France. Its competitive advantage lies in providing centralized, accessible information and services to residents, including urban planning, social services, and community engagement tools. Revenue streams are typical of public sector entities, funded by local government budgets rather than commercial sales. The target customer segments are local residents, businesses, and visitors seeking municipal information. Growth indicators include recent content updates and integration of digital participation platforms such as 'Je participe'. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and local digital initiatives, supporting community involvement and transparency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user data. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance documentation. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration transparency, which is a minor risk factor. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and published policies to improve compliance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to demonstrate governance and readiness.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Improve WHOIS transparency by ensuring domain registration details are publicly available or justified by privacy needs.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to maintain security and performance.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a well-structured theme and use of popular libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap.

The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets optimized via caching and minification, indicating attention to performance. Accessibility features are implemented, including an accessibility settings modal. The site is mobile responsive and uses modern HTML5 and ARIA roles for better usability.

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.
