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

Geoquest Group is a globally recognized leader in geotechnical engineering, specializing in reinforced earth structures and soil-structure interaction solutions. With a presence in 80 countries and a history spanning over 60 years, the company offers a broad portfolio of engineering services and products tailored to infrastructure, hydraulic, industrial, and urban development sectors. The website reflects a mature business with comprehensive content, professional design, and a strong international network supported by its parent company, Soletanche Freyssinet. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform using advanced plugins and frameworks such as Avada Fusion Builder and Slider Revolution. It employs analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Matomo for user tracking and performance insights. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and proper HTTPS configuration, which significantly impacts its security posture. Security-wise, while several HTTP security headers are implemented, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols present critical vulnerabilities. The site does implement GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms and maintains comprehensive privacy and legal policies, indicating good privacy compliance. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration to enhance security and trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include installing a valid SSL certificate, enabling modern TLS protocols, and enhancing HSTS policies to protect users and improve compliance.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but compromised by critical SSL/TLS deficiencies. The presence of security headers such as HSTS, X-XSS-Protection, and X-Content-Type-Options is positive. However, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of enabled TLS protocols expose the site to risks including data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policies demonstrate awareness of data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, indicating potential gaps in security governance. The site uses secure forms (Contact Form 7) but would benefit from enhanced HTTPS enforcement and certificate transparency compliance. Overall, the security maturity is basic with significant room for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Install and properly configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions to ensure secure communications.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Enhance HSTS policy by including subdomains and submitting for preload to enforce strict transport security.
  5. Establish and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a robust WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including PHP 8.1, Avada Fusion Builder, and Slider Revolution for dynamic content presentation. Performance optimization is handled by WP Rocket caching. Analytics integration includes Google Tag Manager and Matomo, providing comprehensive user behavior insights. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices implemented via Yoast SEO. However, the lack of SSL/TLS security is a critical technical debt. The DNS setup is standard with OVHcloud hosting and no DNSSEC or CAA records configured, which could be improved for enhanced domain security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security upgrades to mitigate risks.
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.
