Programme Équité is a French non-profit initiative focused on accelerating ecological and social transition in West Africa through fair trade development. The program supports cooperatives and fair trade actors by fostering sustainable supply chains and capacity building. The website reflects a mature and consistent brand presence with clear messaging and trust indicators such as partner logos and testimonials. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern integrations including Mapbox, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA, providing a solid digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and form protections, though improvements like DNSSEC and security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is basic but present, with cookie consent mechanisms and a privacy policy accessible via footer links. Overall, the domain registration and website content align well, indicating a legitimate and stable organization.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 program occupies a niche in the non-profit sector supporting fair trade in West Africa, leveraging partnerships with recognized organizations such as Commerce Équitable France and AVSF. Its business model centers on cooperative support and sustainable development rather than commercial revenue. The website targets cooperatives, fair trade stakeholders, and donors, providing project information, news, and resources. The presence of testimonials and partner endorsements enhances credibility. The domain age and registration details support the program's established presence since 2017. The technical ecosystem supports outreach and engagement through newsletters and social media integration.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in hardening and policy disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing explicit terms of service and data protection officer contact details.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses modern JavaScript libraries including Mapbox GL JS for interactive maps. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and Mailjet for newsletter management. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Hosting details are not explicit, but DNS uses Wix name servers despite domain registration via Network Solutions, indicating possible use of Wix hosting or DNS services. Performance is moderate with caching and optimization plugins evident. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a non-profit organization but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
