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

The website www.vandoeuvre.fr serves as the official digital presence of the city of Vandœuvre in France, providing residents and visitors with access to city news, event agendas, and a variety of public services including online administrative procedures. The site is positioned as a municipal government portal with a medium-sized audience primarily localized to the city and surrounding region. The content is well-structured, professionally presented, and consistent with official city branding, targeting a general audience with information relevant to local governance and community engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing common plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The technology stack includes modern JavaScript libraries and UI frameworks, ensuring a good user experience with mobile responsiveness and moderate performance. However, some accessibility features could be improved, and security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided data. From a security standpoint, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published privacy policy, terms of service, and security incident contact information represents compliance and transparency gaps. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which reduces trust signals but may be due to AFNIC's query restrictions or privacy protections. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid foundation for municipal digital services with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy documentation, and WHOIS transparency would enhance trust and compliance. The risk profile is moderate with no immediate critical issues detected.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. 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

  3. 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

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 city of Vandœuvre operates this website as a key communication and service delivery channel for its residents and stakeholders. The business model is public sector focused, providing essential information and facilitating administrative processes online. The site supports community engagement through news, events, and social media integration. Its market position is that of an official government portal, with competitive advantages including localized content, multilingual support via translation tools, and integration with partner domains for citizen services. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government service. The partnership ecosystem includes related municipal service portals and official government platforms. Growth indicators include ongoing content updates and digital service expansions. Strategic observations suggest a focus on digital inclusion and ecological transition themes.

Security posture

The website maintains a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting formal incident response channels. The absence of contact information for security incidents and no explicit data protection officer details reduce transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with no critical vulnerabilities detected but several compliance and best practice gaps.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection officer details to improve transparency and compliance.
  5. Review WHOIS registration details to ensure domain registration information is complete and publicly accessible to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress platform with a modern and diverse technology stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, Matomo for analytics, and various JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements such as PhotoSwipe and Leaflet. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with caching and minification plugins in use. The presence of multiple external resources from reputable CDNs and libraries indicates a well-maintained infrastructure. However, the absence of detected security headers and incomplete WHOIS data highlight technical risks that could impact trust and security posture. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve accessibility features to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
