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

Zoan is a French communication agency founded in 2007, specializing in graphic design, advertising, and web services. The agency serves a regional clientele including SMEs, industrial companies, associations, and local authorities primarily in the Loire-Atlantique and Ille-et-Vilaine regions. Their business model focuses on providing strategic communication consulting and creative production services such as branding, website creation, and video content. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and a clear market position as a local creative partner. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Yoast SEO and Matomo analytics configured for privacy. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with fast loading times and modern web technologies including GSAP for animations. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable provider, and the domain is long-established, supporting credibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and privacy-conscious analytics settings but lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators were detected in the content or WHOIS data. Overall, Zoan presents a trustworthy and professional digital footprint with strong business credibility and good technical implementation. Strategic enhancements in security headers, cookie consent, and incident response transparency would further strengthen their security posture and 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

  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

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

Zoan operates as a small-sized communication agency with a focus on regional French markets. Their competitive advantage lies in their local presence and comprehensive service offering from strategy to creative execution. The agency targets a diverse client base including SMEs, industrial firms, and public sector entities. Their revenue streams likely derive from project-based consulting and creative services. The company shows growth indicators such as recent projects and active content updates. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and regional clients. The agency's operations emphasize creativity and client proximity, positioning them well in a competitive but localized market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics configurations. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a cookie consent mechanism indicate gaps in security best practices and GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries visibly. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small agency but could be improved to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable French hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and fast loading times.

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.
