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

The website www.vosges.fr is the official online presence of the Conseil départemental des Vosges, a regional government entity in France. It serves as a comprehensive portal for residents and visitors, offering information on public services, cultural events, tourism, and local governance. The site is positioned as a trusted source for regional information and services, targeting a broad audience including citizens, businesses, and tourists. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, FontAwesome, and various analytics tools including Matomo and Facebook Pixel. The infrastructure supports good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, reflecting a mature digital presence. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. While no critical vulnerabilities were detected, the absence of a publicly available security policy and incident response contact suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong legitimacy and trustworthiness profile consistent with an official government entity. The lack of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection policies common in French domains. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, enhancing monitoring of third-party scripts, and considering a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen security posture.

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

7 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

    • 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. Security headers

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 Conseil départemental des Vosges operates as a governmental body providing essential public services and information to the Vosges region. Its market position is that of an authoritative regional government portal, with competitive advantages including official status, comprehensive service coverage, and strong regional branding. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public administration and community engagement. Revenue streams are government-funded, with no commercial transactions on the site. Target customer segments include local residents, tourists, and businesses seeking regional information. Growth indicators are tied to digital service adoption and regional outreach. The partnership ecosystem includes integration with national and regional government services, as well as collaboration with cultural and tourism organizations. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining digital trust and compliance to support public confidence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of reputable analytics and tracking services is balanced with privacy compliance measures. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy and incident response contact limits transparency and may impact incident handling efficiency. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The security culture appears focused on standard best practices but could benefit from enhanced communication and formalized vulnerability disclosure processes. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but should address identified gaps to improve resilience and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance monitoring and validation of form inputs to prevent injection and other common web attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a widely used CMS (WordPress) with the Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible infrastructure. The tech stack includes jQuery, FontAwesome, and several popular JavaScript libraries for UI components and analytics. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, supporting a broad user base. SEO practices are implemented through proper meta tags and structured data. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing maintenance to avoid vulnerabilities. Opportunities exist to improve hosting transparency and implement advanced performance tuning.
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.
