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

8 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 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"

    • 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 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

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

POP occupies a niche position as a regional incubator specializing in social and solidarity economy projects. Its competitive advantage lies in its targeted support for collective and socially responsible entrepreneurship, backed by partnerships with regional authorities and a dedicated team. The business model centers on providing incubation services, training, and networking opportunities rather than direct commercial sales. The target audience includes project leaders, associations, and cooperatives aiming to address local social needs. Growth indicators include a portfolio of over 200 projects supported and a network of 250+ partners. The partnership with Airtable for event registration and data collection indicates a modern approach to operational management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms from spam. However, the absence of DNSSEC and several key HTTP security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, etc.) represents potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is partially evident through the privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could pose regulatory risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Key observations

  1. Website is professionally designed and well-structured.
  2. Content is comprehensive and relevant to social entrepreneurship incubation.
  3. No signs of malicious or suspicious activity detected.
  4. Security practices are adequate but could be improved with additional headers and DNSSEC.
  5. No explicit privacy or cookie consent banners detected, which may be a compliance gap.
  6. WHOIS data aligns well with website content and business claims.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a widely used CMS (WordPress) with a modern page builder (Elementor) and SEO plugin (Yoast), indicating a mature technical infrastructure. Hosting by OVH sas ensures reliable performance, though the site performance is moderate, possibly due to heavy images or multiple plugins. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 enhances form security. However, the absence of advanced security headers and DNSSEC suggests room for technical hardening. The site uses several JavaScript libraries and CSS frameworks typical for WordPress sites, with no signs of deprecated or vulnerable components in the HTML content.
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.
