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 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

Ardo operates in the retail sector with a focus on food supply, particularly fresh-frozen produce. The company targets multiple customer segments including foodservice providers, industrial clients, and retail chains. Its business model revolves around sustainable sourcing and supply chain management. The website's integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and market positioning. The absence of explicit contact details on the homepage suggests a possible focus on B2B relationships managed through other channels. The company benefits from a long domain history and consistent branding, reinforcing its market credibility.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer restrictions in place. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Salesforce resources necessitates ongoing vigilance to mitigate supply chain risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The cookie consent implementation aligns with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy protection. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could be addressed to improve security maturity and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Add clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to facilitate communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and CMS modules to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and robust CMS platform, indicating a current and maintainable technical infrastructure. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, and Salesforce scripts shows a mature digital marketing and consent management setup. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting details are limited but domain registration is stable and long-term. Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and possibly improve loading speed through optimization of third-party resources.
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.
