Risk levelHigh

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

Synergiles is a French innovation cluster specializing in energy and ecological transition, acting as an interface between technical, scientific, and institutional stakeholders. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with a clear focus on its mission and services. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress with the Divi theme and includes modern web technologies and analytics tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is good with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, though explicit security headers and policies are absent. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the active social media presence and quality content support business credibility. Overall, the website is functional, secure, and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

  2. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 20 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  3. 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"

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

Synergiles positions itself as a specialized innovation cluster in the energy sector, targeting scientific and institutional partners involved in ecological transition. Its business model revolves around facilitating collaboration and innovation in this niche market. The company appears to be small-sized, founded around 2017, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The website content and social media channels suggest active engagement with its audience and stakeholders. Revenue streams likely derive from partnerships, project facilitation, and possibly membership services. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies indicates areas for improvement in customer engagement and compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA, which are positive security measures. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could hinder effective communication in case of security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent mechanism, but the lack of a privacy policy page is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement explicit security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, ExactMetrics for Google Analytics, and GDPR Cookie Compliance. It uses modern web fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts for performance optimization. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with caching enabled via WP Rocket. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header configurations.
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.
