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. 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

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

The company targets large retail and consumer goods brands, evidenced by client logos like Anheuser-Busch InBev, PepsiCo, and Kraft Heinz. Their business model focuses on outsourced retail execution and data-driven solutions, leveraging integrated platforms and sustainability initiatives such as the Greenup dashboard. The firm appears large and well-established, with a global footprint and comprehensive service offerings spanning strategy to execution. The website content and structure support a strong market position with clear competitive advantages in operational efficiency and sustainability. Partnerships with platforms like HubSpot indicate a mature marketing and CRM ecosystem. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a controlled communication approach, likely funneling inquiries through forms or LinkedIn. Overall, the business intelligence points to a reputable, enterprise-level service provider with a focus on innovation and client trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance and user privacy controls. The use of Cloudflare Insights indicates monitoring and analytics capabilities. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness indicators. While the current posture is solid for a corporate website, enhancing header security and publishing security governance documents would strengthen defenses and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for support and inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, leveraging YouTube iframe API for video content and Cookiebot for consent management. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility features, and SEO best practices with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated, though there is an opportunity to improve security headers and provide more explicit security documentation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence aligned 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.
