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.

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 website serves as a public sector portal for the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines agglomeration, targeting local citizens and partners. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, focusing on community engagement and public communication. The site leverages multimedia and structured data to enhance user experience and SEO. While no direct revenue streams or commercial partnerships are evident, the site supports government transparency and service delivery. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but does not detract from the site's apparent legitimacy and official status.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA and Axeptio for security and cookie consent, indicating awareness of basic security and privacy needs. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published privacy and cookie policies represent compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The site shows a moderate security maturity level appropriate for a government informational portal but should enhance transparency and technical controls to strengthen trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor, utilizing various plugins for SEO, menus, forms, and media integration. It uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts, YouTube embeds, and asynchronous JavaScript loading for performance. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO metadata and structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The absence of detailed hosting information limits full infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical stack is contemporary and suitable for the site's purpose but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy features.
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.
