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

The website www.strasbourg.eu serves as the official digital portal for the City and Eurométropole of Strasbourg, France. It provides comprehensive information and services to residents, tourists, professionals, students, and other stakeholders. The site features news, event calendars, administrative procedures, cultural content, and community engagement tools, positioning itself as a central hub for local government communication and citizen interaction. Technically, the site is built on the Liferay CMS platform with modern web technologies including React and Alloy UI, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. Security measures such as HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, reflecting a mature security posture. However, explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages are not clearly identified, and contact information is not prominently displayed, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and aligned with its public service mission.

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, LinkedIn

      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 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';…

  3. 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.

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 site represents a large government entity focused on public administration and community services. Its market position is that of an authoritative source for local information and services in Strasbourg. The business model is non-commercial, centered on providing public value and transparency. Key services include event management, administrative guidance, cultural promotion, and citizen participation. The site links to several partner domains related to tourism, student life, and local apps, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The absence of commercial advertising and the presence of official branding reinforce its credibility. Growth indicators include regular content updates and integration of digital tools like mobile apps and analytics.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and a cookie consent framework. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of nonce attributes in scripts suggests adherence to Content Security Policy best practices. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which could be added to enhance security maturity. Overall, the site is secure for general public use but could improve in formalizing security communication and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit contact information including a dedicated security incident response email or page.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance metadata with structured data for organization and contact details to improve SEO and trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The site leverages the Liferay CMS platform combined with React and Alloy UI libraries, providing a modern and modular architecture. The use of Matomo analytics with cookie consent indicates privacy-aware tracking. Performance is moderate with combined and minified resources, though some scripts and stylesheets are loaded from multiple sources. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, supporting inclusive design. The site is mobile optimized with responsive layouts and overlays. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to streamline third-party dependencies and improve metadata completeness. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with strong security headers, indicating a professionally managed infrastructure.
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.
