Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

55/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Danone is a globally recognized food and beverage company operating in over 120 countries with a strong focus on health-oriented products such as Essential Dairy & Plant-Based products, Waters, and Specialized Nutrition. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on Adobe Experience Manager with integrations for search, analytics, and marketing. While the site is professionally designed and content-rich, the current SSL/TLS configuration is invalid or missing, which poses a significant security risk. Security headers are well implemented, but the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols reduces the overall security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting good privacy practices. The WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy and consistency of the domain with the corporate identity. Strategic improvements in SSL/TLS deployment and security practices are recommended to enhance 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

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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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

  • 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

Danone holds a leading market position in the global food and beverage sector, leveraging a diversified product portfolio and a presence in multiple regions. The company emphasizes sustainability and health, supported by certifications like B Corp™ and Société à Mission status. The website targets consumers, investors, and potential employees, providing detailed corporate information, press releases, and investor relations content. The digital ecosystem includes partnerships with specialized domains for regional operations and content delivery. The business model focuses on manufacturing and distributing health-oriented food products with a strong sustainability agenda.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity with strong HTTP security headers and content security policies. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols critically undermine the security posture, exposing users to risks such as data interception and trust issues. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies was found. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. The site should prioritize fixing SSL/TLS issues and consider publishing security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately renew and correctly configure SSL/TLS certificates to enable HTTPS and support modern TLS versions (1.2 and 1.3).
  2. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance security and performance.
  3. Review and tighten Content Security Policy to reduce reliance on 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' directives.
  4. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Continue enhancing accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services such as Algolia for search and New Relic for monitoring. The infrastructure is hosted on Adobe AEM Cloud with a complex content delivery network involving multiple partner domains. While the design and content quality are excellent, the SSL/TLS misconfiguration represents a critical technical debt. Performance metrics were not available, but the use of CDN and modern frameworks suggests potential for good performance. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data.
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.
