Publika is a French digital communication agency headquartered in Montpellier with an international network presence including Spain, Madagascar, and Canada. The company specializes in digital marketing, web and mobile development, and branding services. Their client portfolio includes notable companies such as Sanofi and Canal Plus, indicating a strong market position in the digital communication sector.

Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for marketing insights.

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

7 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 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 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: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn

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

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

Publika operates as a service-based digital communication agency targeting businesses requiring marketing, branding, and web development services. Their international footprint and partnerships, such as with Rouge Hexagone, enhance their service offerings. The agency leverages Google Partner certification as a trust signal and maintains active social media channels to engage clients. Their business model focuses on customized digital strategies, training, and technical development, positioning them competitively in the French and international markets. The presence of client logos and success stories further supports their market credibility and growth potential.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, reflecting a baseline security and privacy posture. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces moderate tracking but appears compliant with privacy standards. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing agency but could benefit from additional hardening and policy disclosures.

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 an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider publishing detailed data retention policies and privacy notices to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Typekit fonts, ensuring a visually appealing and interactive user experience. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are integrated for marketing analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate performance. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is discernible from the content. The absence of certain security headers and limited accessibility features indicate areas for technical improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could be enhanced for security and compliance.
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.
