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

Essentia Protein Solutions is a global manufacturer specializing in animal protein ingredients for the food, beverage, nutrition, and pet food industries. The company emphasizes natural raw materials and clean label solutions, serving a B2B market with a broad portfolio of products. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with detailed product and application information, targeting food industry professionals and manufacturers. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and a comprehensive cookie consent management system. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, although some improvements in accessibility could be made. Hosting details are partially inferred from DNS records, with no explicit CMS detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided data. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a domain registered in 2014 with a Swedish registrar, matching the company's origin. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and security posture.

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

2 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

  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 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

Essentia Protein Solutions holds a strong market position as a global supplier of animal protein ingredients, leveraging over 40 years of industry experience. Their business model focuses on B2B sales to food and beverage manufacturers, nutrition product developers, and pet food producers. The company offers a wide range of clean label, natural protein solutions derived from various animal sources. Their product portfolio and application areas are well segmented, supporting diverse customer needs. The website's detailed ingredient and application catalogs, along with brand-specific product lines, indicate a mature product ecosystem. Marketing efforts include the use of LinkedIn and Google Analytics for targeted outreach and performance tracking. The absence of direct contact information on the main site suggests a focus on qualified lead generation through forms or partner channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed with clear categories and user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers represent areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The WHOIS data shows domain registration protections such as clientTransferProhibited status, enhancing domain security. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookie Information for analytics and consent management. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to be managed through DNS providers associated with dipcon.com and ports.se/net, indicating a European hosting environment consistent with the company's Swedish origin. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS or backend platform was explicitly detected. The site uses a cookie consent banner with detailed categories and descriptions, reflecting good privacy practice. Technical risks include the absence of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve security 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.
