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

Union régionale des Scop et Scic Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes operates as a regional cooperative network supporting cooperative entrepreneurs and enterprises in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The organization provides a comprehensive range of services including entrepreneurial accompaniment, training, financial support, and networking opportunities. It holds a strong market position as the leading cooperative support network in the region, supported by partnerships with regional authorities and the European Union. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting cooperative entrepreneurs and social economy actors. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies and privacy-conscious analytics tools such as Matomo. It integrates social media and tracking scripts responsibly with a cookie consent mechanism in place. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and clear navigation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs privacy-respecting analytics. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common and justified for this type of organization. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional transparency and security controls. The overall risk assessment is low, with the site demonstrating good business credibility, technical implementation, and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

4 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 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 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 organization is positioned as an important entity within the cooperative sector in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, serving a medium-sized audience of cooperative entrepreneurs and social economy actors. Its business model focuses on non-profit support services including training, financing, and networking. The presence of multiple regional and EU partners indicates strong institutional backing and stable revenue streams likely derived from public funding and cooperative memberships. The website content and linked domains reveal a well-established partnership ecosystem with other cooperative networks and regional authorities. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and regular content updates. The cooperative focus and regional scope suggest a niche but vital role in the local economy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-friendly tools. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were detected, reducing opportunities for coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and published policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance privacy policy details to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data retention practices.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure minimal privacy impact and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS platform, ensuring a solid foundation for content management and security updates. The integration of Google Tag Manager and Matomo analytics provides flexible and privacy-conscious tracking capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The use of embedded YouTube videos and multiple external links is well managed. However, the lack of explicit security headers and limited hosting provider information suggest opportunities for infrastructure hardening and transparency improvements. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but could be enhanced with additional security and performance optimizations.
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.
