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

Thibaut Caroli is a freelance digital designer and front-end developer specializing in website conception, design, and development, primarily serving environmental protection and climate change awareness associations. The website serves as a professional portfolio showcasing projects and providing contact information. The business model is focused on freelance services with a niche market position in non-profit environmental sectors. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with custom themes, leveraging standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and FontAwesome. Hosting is provided by IONOS SE, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The website demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and user experience, though accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy 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.

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

    • 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

  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 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"

    • 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';…

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 website targets a specialized segment of clients focused on environmental and climate change projects, leveraging the founder's 18 years of experience in digital design and front-end development. The freelance business operates independently without subsidiaries or parent companies. The partnership with a back-end developer indicates a collaborative approach to full-stack solutions. The business model relies on project-based engagements with associations and clients requiring customized WordPress solutions. The website's content and social media presence support brand visibility and client engagement. Growth potential lies in expanding service offerings and improving digital marketing and compliance practices.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. The use of older jQuery version (1.11.3) may pose potential security risks if not properly maintained. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements, which is critical given the European location. Overall, the site is functional and secure at a basic level but requires improvements to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Upgrade JavaScript libraries to latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimizations to enhance user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme, using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery 1.11.3, Modernizr, and FontAwesome icons. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site is hosted by IONOS SE, a reputable hosting provider. Performance is moderate with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. SEO is basic with meta description and viewport tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. Accessibility is basic with no ARIA roles or landmarks explicitly detected. No analytics or tracking tools are implemented, indicating minimal data collection. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a freelance portfolio but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility.
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.
