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

Greencore is a leading UK-based producer of convenience foods, serving retailers and foodservice customers with a broad product portfolio and a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. The website reflects a mature, professional business with comprehensive investor relations, media, and career resources. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern analytics and tracking tools, optimized for performance and mobile use. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some standard compliance documents like privacy policy and terms of service are not explicitly found.

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

2 findings 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.

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Greencore operates in the manufacturing sector, specializing in convenience foods with a large workforce and a significant market presence. The company leverages partnerships and subsidiaries such as Bakkavor to expand its reach. Its business model focuses on product innovation, sustainability, and customer partnerships. The website's investor relations and news sections indicate active engagement with stakeholders and transparency. The target audience includes consumers, retailers, investors, and potential employees. The company shows growth indicators through recent trading updates and product launches.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and security headers, indicating a robust security baseline. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance mechanisms are implemented, including detailed cookie categorization and user controls. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing dedicated security documentation and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly linked from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy consent mechanisms to maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO for optimization, Google Tag Manager for analytics management, and integrates multiple analytics services including Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Hosting appears to be on AWS with Cloudflare providing CDN and security services. The site is well-structured with modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks, including GSAP for animations. Performance is optimized with preloading and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and screen reader text are present. SEO is enhanced with canonical tags, Open Graph metadata, and JSON-LD structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well-maintained.
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.
