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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

AB InBev holds a dominant market position in the beer manufacturing sector, leveraging its heritage and strong brand portfolio. The business model focuses on production, sustainability, and responsible drinking promotion. The company targets adult consumers and stakeholders interested in corporate responsibility. The website supports recruitment and media relations through dedicated partner domains. The digital infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security transparency. The company’s long domain history and consistent WHOIS data reinforce its legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security posture with HTTPS and an age verification gate. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of visible security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The site uses third-party scripts, which should be regularly audited to mitigate risks. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but could be strengthened with formal policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and privacy practices to improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Maintain and update the age gate and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, leveraging jQuery and Leaflet.js for interactive maps and Slick Carousel for sliders. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing. The site loads asynchronously and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain and infrastructure appear stable and consistent with enterprise standards.
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.
