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

Cedo Ltd is a well-established manufacturer and supplier of household essentials, operating for over 60 years with a significant presence in Europe. The company focuses on producing goods such as refuse sacks, biodegradable bin liners, aluminium foil, freezer bags, cling film, and baking paper, serving both leading retailers and B2B operators. Sustainability and recycling are core to their business strategy, with a strong emphasis on reducing plastic waste and promoting circular economy principles. Their market position is supported by multiple production sites and a large workforce, reflecting a mature and stable business model. Technically, the website is built on a modern CMS platform (OctoberCMS) with standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with good user experience. However, some technical improvements could enhance performance and accessibility further. The hosting provider is inferred from DNS records, and the domain is secured with HTTPS, though DNSSEC is not enabled. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and domain registration protections but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, and no contact information for security issues is provided. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy available as a PDF, but no cookie consent mechanism is present. The absence of visible contact details on the site may impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business credibility and technical foundation but would benefit from enhanced security practices and improved privacy compliance mechanisms. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, publishing security policies, and providing clear contact information to improve trust 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Cedo Ltd operates in the manufacturing and retail sectors, specializing in household essentials with a focus on sustainability. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence, extensive production capabilities, and commitment to recycling and environmental responsibility. The business model combines private label manufacturing with branded products, targeting large retailers and B2B customers across Europe. Revenue streams are primarily from product sales, supported by a turnover of approximately 550 million euros. The company maintains a professional online presence with downloadable policy documents and a LinkedIn profile, indicating transparency and engagement with stakeholders. Growth indicators include multiple production sites and a sizable workforce. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes protective status flags preventing unauthorized changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the organization's transparency and readiness to handle security incidents. Privacy compliance is partially met with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent and detailed data protection officer information. Overall, the security culture appears basic but could be significantly improved with targeted measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Provide clear contact details (email, phone) on the website to facilitate communication and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on OctoberCMS, leveraging modern web standards such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with SVG graphics for logos and icons. The site is mobile-optimized and features video content and interactive elements. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of media assets and scripts. The absence of advanced accessibility features suggests room for enhancement to meet WCAG guidelines. SEO is basic, with meta tags present but minimal descriptive content. The hosting provider is inferred from DNS records as DomainControl, a common registrar hosting service. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, indicating a relatively modern and maintainable infrastructure.
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.
