Setec is a French multidisciplinary engineering group specializing in complex and innovative construction projects worldwide. The company targets professional clients in sectors such as energy, transport, and telecommunications. Their website reflects a mature digital presence built on WordPress, enhanced with SEO tools and privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and includes a cookie consent mechanism, demonstrating compliance with privacy regulations. However, explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages were not detected in the provided content, which could be improved for better compliance and transparency. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the professional presentation and content quality support the company's legitimacy.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

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

Setec operates in essential sectors including energy, transport, and telecommunications, providing engineering and project management services. The company appears well-positioned in the French and international markets with a focus on sustainable and innovative infrastructure solutions. Their business model revolves around delivering multidisciplinary engineering expertise to complex construction projects. The presence of a related foundation domain indicates corporate social responsibility initiatives. The website's content and navigation cater to professional audiences, reinforcing their market positioning. No direct revenue or partnership data was found, but the structured market sectors and project listings suggest a diversified service portfolio.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner, indicating attention to security and privacy. Matomo analytics is used, which is privacy-friendly compared to other analytics platforms. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and no security or incident response policies were found on the site. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy page accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Implement and publish an incident response contact or security.txt file for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Monitor WHOIS data and ensure domain registration information is complete and consistent with company identity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Yoast SEO plugin, jQuery, and Matomo analytics. CookiePro is used for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with GDPR. The site loads external scripts asynchronously, which helps performance. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. No hosting provider information was extracted. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a professional corporate website. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format.
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.
