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

Synpase is a French national syndicate representing professionals in the audiovisual, spectacle, and event sectors. The website serves as an information hub offering news, agreements, documentation, and member services to its target audience of industry professionals. The organization appears to be a small-sized non-profit entity focused on advocacy and resource provision within its niche market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and several plugins including Mailchimp and document embedding tools. It employs Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is well-designed with good mobile optimization and clear navigation, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, though the website content and professional presentation suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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.

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

Synpase holds a niche position as a professional syndicate in France's audiovisual and event industry, providing essential services such as information dissemination, member support, and advocacy. Its business model is non-profit and membership-based, targeting industry professionals. The website's partnership with synpaseclub.fr indicates an extended ecosystem for member engagement. The use of WordPress and common plugins suggests a cost-effective digital infrastructure. The organization maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting its credibility. However, the lack of visible privacy and cookie policies and missing WHOIS data may impact trust among privacy-conscious users. The syndicate's market presence is national, with a focus on regulatory and social matters relevant to its members.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses secure forms for member login and newsletter subscription but lacks visible incident response or security policy information. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy and could indicate privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider registering and publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, which is widely used and supported. It integrates several plugins for document embedding, audio playback, and newsletter subscription via Mailchimp. The site loads external resources such as FontAwesome and Google Analytics scripts, indicating standard web analytics and iconography usage. Performance is moderate with some optimization for mobile devices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure data transmission. No hosting provider details were detected from the HTML content. The technical stack is typical for a professional small organization website, balancing functionality and cost-efficiency. Opportunities exist to enhance security and privacy features and improve accessibility compliance.
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.
