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

Scan Compétences is a small Swiss-based service provider specializing in competency evaluation and development services. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Divi Builder, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The company targets professionals and organizations seeking expert competency assessments. The site includes structured data and social media links to LinkedIn and YouTube, enhancing its online presence. Technically, the site uses HTTPS with Google Analytics tracking and an opt-out mechanism, but lacks visible security headers and published privacy or cookie policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which limits transparency in security practices. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve in privacy compliance and security posture.

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

5 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 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

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

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 company operates in a niche market focused on competency assessment and development, likely serving corporate clients and professionals. The business model is service-oriented, providing expert evaluations to enhance workforce skills. The website content and branding are consistent and targeted, but the lack of detailed contact information and policies may limit trust for new clients. The presence of social media channels suggests some engagement with the professional community. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The use of privacy protection in domain registration is typical for small enterprises and does not raise immediate concerns.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Analytics with an opt-out option, demonstrating basic security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found, which are important for compliance and trust. The use of popular WordPress plugins requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing clear incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated email addresses such as security@ or abuse@.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi Builder theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO and Formidable Forms. It loads Google Fonts and uses Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, with no explicit hosting provider identified. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern but requires attention to security best practices and privacy compliance to reduce risks and improve user trust.
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.
