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

L’Association de Surveillance Calédonienne de la Qualité de l’Air operates as a regional non-profit organization dedicated to monitoring and reporting air quality in New Caledonia. The website serves as a comprehensive platform providing real-time air quality data, periodic reports, educational content, and public bulletins to residents and stakeholders concerned with environmental health. The association holds a key position as the authoritative source for air quality information in the region, targeting a general audience including the public, government entities, and environmental professionals. Technically, the website is built on the Joomla CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and OpenLayers for interactive maps and data visualization. The site demonstrates moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Privacy compliance is well addressed through a comprehensive privacy policy and an active cookie consent mechanism, reflecting GDPR adherence. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens in forms, but lacks several important security headers that could enhance protection against common web threats. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's organizational claims, supporting its legitimacy. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with room for security enhancements. Strategically, the association should focus on implementing additional security headers, publishing explicit security and incident response policies, and considering a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen its security posture and public trust.

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.

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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 association occupies a niche market as the primary air quality monitoring entity in New Caledonia, providing essential environmental data and public information. Its non-profit model relies on transparency and public engagement, supported by regular reports and real-time data access. The presence on major social media platforms extends its outreach and community engagement. The business model emphasizes public service rather than commercial revenue, with potential partnerships in government and environmental sectors. Growth indicators include frequent content updates and active data dissemination. The website's ecosystem includes links to mapping and data visualization partners such as Numtech and OpenStreetMap, enhancing its technical capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protections in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security represents a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking, cross-site scripting, and other attacks. No evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials was found. Privacy compliance is strong, with GDPR-aligned cookie consent and a detailed privacy policy. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The site would benefit from a formal vulnerability disclosure mechanism to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible to users and stakeholders.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party libraries and update them to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all audiences.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program, potentially via a security.txt file, to facilitate responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with integration of jQuery, Bootstrap, and OpenLayers for interactive mapping and data visualization. It uses proj4js for coordinate transformations and tarteaucitron for cookie consent management. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, indicating a moderately complex front-end. Performance is moderate, with some asynchronous script loading and carousel features for news and banners. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and viewport meta tags. SEO is basic, with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and labels but room for improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's functional requirements but could benefit from modernization and optimization.
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.
