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

6 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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. 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Berger Paints operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on paints and coatings. Its business model includes direct consumer sales, dealer networks, and enterprise solutions. The company leverages digital tools for customer engagement, including a paint calculator, colour visualizer app, and extensive inspiration galleries. The presence of testimonials and awards enhances credibility. The company maintains active social media channels and uses multiple tracking and advertising platforms to drive marketing efforts. The domain registration aligns with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. The company appears well-established with a large operational footprint in India.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and secure form input validation. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. The extensive use of third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface but is common in commercial websites. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact details to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve site performance.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and SSL/TLS configurations to maintain high security standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, served via Amazon Cloudfront CDN for performance optimization. It uses Drupal as the backend CMS, indicated by JSON API endpoints. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The site loads efficiently with preloading of fonts and images. Analytics and marketing scripts are extensively integrated, supporting data-driven business decisions. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which should be monitored for vulnerabilities.
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.
