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

The website respectdudroitdauteur.fr serves as an advocacy and informational platform focused on the respect of copyright and intellectual property rights within the context of emerging AI regulations in Europe. It represents a coalition of European cultural and creative organizations, publishing declarations and charters to influence policy and promote responsible AI use respecting creators' rights. The site is relatively new, founded in 2023, and hosted on OVH using WordPress technology. It demonstrates good content quality and professional presentation, targeting stakeholders in the cultural and AI regulatory sectors. Technically, the site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and accessible, though it lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but could be improved with additional policies and disclosures. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

12 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: Telnet

      Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to Telnet using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 platform positions itself as a key voice in European cultural and intellectual property advocacy, particularly in the evolving AI landscape. It leverages a network of reputable European organizations as signatories, enhancing its influence and legitimacy. The business model is non-profit and advocacy-driven, focusing on policy influence rather than commercial activities. The target audience includes cultural organizations, rights holders, policymakers, and AI stakeholders. The site’s content and partnerships indicate a strategic focus on shaping AI regulation to protect creators’ rights. Growth potential lies in expanding its coalition and increasing visibility among European institutions. The absence of commercial elements and direct revenue streams aligns with its non-profit nature.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. No forms or user input fields reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms indicates partial GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate, with room for improvement in policy publication and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy.
  4. Consider creating a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, leveraging standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses custom fonts loaded locally and is hosted by OVH, a reputable European hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features, with semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks like skip links. Performance is moderate, with no heavy external scripts or trackers detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. The absence of analytics or marketing tools suggests a focus on content delivery rather than user tracking. Technical risks are minimal but include potential security header omissions and lack of privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
