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

3 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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
  3. Network security

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

    • 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

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

Télécom Paris Alumni operates as an important entity within the education and non-profit sectors, focusing on alumni engagement and career services. Its business model revolves around membership fees and providing value-added services such as job listings, mentoring, and events. The association maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including donation processing through jedonneenligne.org. The website's content and services indicate a medium-sized organization with over 22,000 alumni members and active LinkedIn presence. The platform supports growth through digital tools like mobile apps and interactive maps, enhancing user engagement and network expansion. Competitive advantages include a well-established alumni network, comprehensive service offerings, and a professional digital presence. The association targets graduates and companies linked to Télécom Paris, leveraging its brand and educational reputation. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital infrastructure and security will support sustained growth and member satisfaction.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, CSRF protection on forms, and bot mitigation via hCaptcha. Cookie consent is managed through the Tarteaucitron library, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Tracking and analytics are implemented with user transparency and opt-in mechanisms. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve readiness and trust. Overall, the security measures align well with best practices for a community-focused educational website, balancing usability and protection. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and formalizing incident response contacts to elevate the security maturity level.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Develop and make publicly available incident response and security policies.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website uses a robust and modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Leaflet.js for interactive maps, and various UI enhancement libraries such as SweetAlert and Select2. The integration of hCaptcha provides effective bot protection. The site is mobile optimized and includes responsive design elements. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of caching for CSS and JS resources. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for further optimization and security hardening.
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.
