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

Rezo.net is a French-language media portal established in 1996, focusing on social, political, and cultural news aggregation and commentary. It curates content from various reputable sources and targets French-speaking audiences interested in these topics. The website uses the SPIP CMS and is hosted by OVH sas, a reputable French hosting provider. The technical infrastructure is basic but functional, with moderate performance and limited mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR. Contact and incident response information are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the website is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms and contains safe content suitable for general audiences.

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 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"

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 portal operates as a niche media aggregator in the French market, leveraging curated content from diverse sources to engage a politically and socially conscious audience. Its long domain age and consistent registration details support its legitimacy. The business model appears to be content curation without direct monetization through advertising or affiliate marketing. The absence of detailed business or contact information suggests a small-scale operation focused on community engagement rather than commercial activities. The portal's ecosystem includes links to various media outlets and social platforms like Mastodon and Seenthis, indicating a community-oriented approach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks DNSSEC, which could improve domain security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, exposing potential risks to clickjacking or content injection attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder timely security issue resolution. The CMS version is a development build, which may pose risks if not regularly updated. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR.
  4. Provide clear contact information and establish an incident response channel.
  5. Regularly update the CMS and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on SPIP CMS version 3.3.0-dev, indicating use of an open-source content management system popular in French-speaking regions. The tech stack includes JavaScript and CSS with cached assets for performance. Hosting is provided by OVH sas, a reputable French provider. The site uses HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and advanced security headers. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta description and title tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, suggesting minimal user data collection. The site structure is straightforward with clear navigation links and RSS feed support.
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.
