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

The website www.pyrenees-cerdagne.fr represents the Communauté de Communes Pyrénées Cerdagne, a local government entity serving the Pyrénées Cerdagne region in France. It provides public services including urban planning, waste management, cultural activities, and cross-border cooperation. The site targets residents and visitors of the region, offering information and access to community resources. The business model is typical of a public sector organization funded by government budgets. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 7 with Angular integration, leveraging modern mapping libraries such as Leaflet and Google Maps API. It uses Matomo for analytics and Sirdata's consent framework for cookie management, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. The site is mobile-optimized and has a clear navigation structure. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no public security or incident response policies are published. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual for a .fr domain but does not appear to impact the legitimacy of the site based on content and branding. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its public sector purpose well. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies explicitly, and improving WHOIS transparency if possible.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

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 Communauté de Communes Pyrénées Cerdagne operates as a regional government authority focused on community services and regional development. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and localized service offerings. The business model is non-commercial, relying on public funding. The target customers are local residents, businesses, and visitors. Growth indicators include active content updates and digital service offerings such as online payments. Partnerships include regional tourism and payment platforms. The organization maintains a consistent brand and a clear digital presence aligned with its mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent management. The use of Matomo analytics and Sirdata consent framework shows attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern but may be due to AFNIC policies or privacy measures. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with recommendations to enhance transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages linked from the homepage.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly update Drupal core and all third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature but aging CMS platform (Drupal 7) combined with Angular for dynamic content. It integrates multiple external libraries for mapping and UI enhancements, including Leaflet, Google Maps API, and Bootstrap. Analytics are handled via Matomo, a privacy-focused tool. The site loads multiple deferred scripts and stylesheets, indicating moderate performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features appear basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
