50/100

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

Pronoms.fr is a French-based, volunteer-driven, open-source project focused on promoting inclusive and non-binary language through examples of personal pronouns and neutral language usage. It offers users the ability to create and share personalized pronoun cards, supports multiple languages, and fosters community engagement through social media and a dedicated queer calendar. The project is positioned as a niche educational and social inclusion resource within the LGBTQ+ community and language activism space. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Vue.js, with integration of Shopify for e-commerce functionalities. It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and possibly CDN services, uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for UI, and employs Plausible Analytics for privacy-respecting visitor tracking. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure for a small community project. From a security perspective, Pronoms.fr enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism and formal security or incident response policies, which are recommended for compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected, indicating a strong security posture for its scale. Overall, Pronoms.fr presents a trustworthy, professional, and community-oriented platform with excellent content quality and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and formal security documentation would further enhance its credibility and user trust.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Pronoms.fr operates as a small, community-driven non-profit project focused on gender inclusivity and language neutrality. Its competitive advantage lies in its open-source model, multilingual support, and strong community engagement via social media and collaborative content creation. The business model is primarily educational and social, with revenue likely derived from merchandise sales via the integrated Shopify store. The target customers are individuals and groups interested in LGBTQ+ issues, gender inclusivity, and language reform. Growth indicators include a large user base with over 1 million cards created and significant monthly visitors. The project maintains partnerships with social platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky and integrates with related projects and resources, forming a supportive ecosystem. Operationally, it relies on volunteer contributions and open collaboration, emphasizing transparency and inclusivity.

Security posture

The security maturity of Pronoms.fr is solid for a small community project. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and multiple security headers are present, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of public key cryptography in configuration indicate good security hygiene. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents a compliance gap and potential risk in handling security incidents. No critical vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. The site would benefit from formalizing its security governance and enhancing user privacy controls, such as implementing a cookie consent banner. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could be improved with documented policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and contributors.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Consider appointing and publishing contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
