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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

Dunbia's market positioning as a leading meat processor is supported by its long history since 1976 and its integration with Dawn Meats. The company leverages a diversified product range and agricultural initiatives to maintain supply chain quality and sustainability. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and supply chain integration, targeting food retailers, processors, and farmers. The website's career and community engagement sections indicate investment in workforce development and corporate responsibility. Partnerships with web design and recruitment platforms show a strategic approach to digital and talent acquisition. The presence of multiple awards and certifications enhances brand trust and market differentiation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics responsibly with asynchronous loading. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no Content-Security-Policy header was detected, which are areas for improvement. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and explicit security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and other code injection attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, supported by jQuery and various plugins for events and forms. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Amazon Registrar, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is well addressed with Rank Math plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is basic but present. The site uses multiple external resources including Google Analytics and social media integrations, which are standard for business websites. Technical debt appears low, but security header enhancements and DNSSEC adoption would strengthen the technical posture.
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.
