Raffut is a French media company specializing in rugby-related content, including magazines and news articles that explore the cultural and social aspects of rugby. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, with a focus on delivering quality content to rugby enthusiasts. The business model centers on magazine sales and subscriptions, supported by partnerships with Sud Ouest's boutique and subscription platforms. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies and analytics tools such as Matomo and Piano Analytics, with a cookie consent mechanism implemented via Didomi. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some advanced security headers and published security policies. Overall, the domain registration is consistent with the business's recent founding in 2022, and no suspicious indicators were found. Recommendations include publishing privacy and security policies and enhancing security headers to improve trust and compliance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Raffut occupies a niche position in the French rugby media market, targeting rugby fans interested in the sport's cultural narratives rather than just sporting results. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized content and partnerships for magazine distribution. The business relies on content sales and subscriptions, with clear growth potential through digital and print media. The company maintains an active social media presence to engage its audience. Operationally, the site is hosted by Infomaniak Network SA, a reputable provider, and integrates multiple third-party services for analytics and consent management. The partnership ecosystem includes Sud Ouest's boutique and subscription services, which are critical for revenue generation.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place, indicating GDPR awareness. However, the absence of explicit privacy and security policies, lack of security headers, and no visible incident response contacts suggest gaps in compliance and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Add a dedicated security or abuse contact email to facilitate incident reporting and response.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain a strong security posture.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress with Elementor page builder, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries like Swiper.js for UI components and GSAP for animations. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Piano Analytics, integrated through Google Tag Manager. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak Network SA, a reputable European provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices supported by Yoast SEO. The site uses Didomi for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and formal policies indicates areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
