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

The website www.stapeleywg.com is a French-language content site focused on home improvement topics such as renovation, gardening, energy efficiency, interior design, and other related subjects. It provides a variety of articles and guides aimed at homeowners and individuals interested in enhancing their living spaces. The site uses a Bootstrap-based responsive design and includes a search form and navigation menu for content categories. However, the site lacks key trust and compliance elements such as privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, terms of service, and contact information. Technically, the site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, indicating the domain may be unregistered, expired, or protected by privacy services, which raises concerns about legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the site offers good content quality but suffers from significant gaps in security, privacy compliance, and business credibility.

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 website operates as a niche content publisher in the home improvement sector, targeting French-speaking homeowners and DIY enthusiasts. Its business model appears to be informational, possibly monetized through advertising or affiliate links, though no explicit monetization was detected. The site maintains a moderate market position with a focus on practical guides and tips across multiple home-related categories. There is no evidence of parent company affiliation or subsidiaries. The lack of contact and business registration information limits transparency and trust. The content is well-structured and relevant, supporting user engagement within its niche. Growth potential depends on improving compliance, security posture, and establishing clearer business identity.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level. It lacks essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security. There is no visible SSL/TLS configuration data, but HTTPS is assumed given modern web standards. No incident response or security policy information is provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content, but the missing WHOIS data and lack of contact information reduce overall trust. The site should prioritize implementing security best practices, privacy compliance, and transparent contact channels to improve its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear and verifiable contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  4. Investigate and resolve WHOIS registration inconsistencies to establish domain legitimacy.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact to build user trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a Bootstrap framework for responsive design and includes SVG icons and a custom CSS stylesheet. The HTML is well-structured with semantic elements and a clear navigation menu. The site includes a search form with proper input validation. However, no advanced CMS or hosting provider information is detectable. Performance appears moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. SEO is basic with meta description present but empty, and no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes on the search form but no further enhancements. The site would benefit from improved SEO metadata, structured data, and accessibility features to enhance discoverability and 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.
