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

Groupe Sobotram is a well-established French transport and logistics company specializing in general goods and hazardous materials transport, operating both nationally and internationally. Founded in 1953 and acquired by Groupe Blondel in 2023, it maintains strategic locations including a SEVESO high-threshold site. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear service offerings and subsidiary information. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, Mapbox GL JS, and Vimeo API, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and structured navigation. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration data supports the legitimacy and trustworthiness of the business.

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

8 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

  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

      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';…

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 holds a strong market position in the French transport and logistics sector, leveraging its long history and integration into Groupe Blondel. Its business model focuses on B2B services including messaging, pallet networks, logistics, and international transport. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and strategic locations indicates a medium-sized enterprise with growth potential. The website content and linked domains confirm a solid partnership ecosystem and professional branding. Revenue streams likely derive from diversified transport and logistics services, targeting businesses requiring specialized handling of hazardous materials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, but no security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The use of third-party scripts like Mapbox and Vimeo is standard but requires ongoing vulnerability management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with enhanced headers, policies, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with frameworks such as Bootstrap for responsive design. Integration of Mapbox GL JS provides interactive mapping features, and Vimeo API is used for video content delivery. The site loads external CSS and JS resources efficiently, though performance is moderate likely due to video and map assets. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social sharing and search engine visibility. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience.
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.
