Ferrero Hazelnut Company is a division of the Ferrero Group focused on the entire hazelnut value chain, from cultivation to processing, emphasizing sustainability and quality. The company operates globally with agribusiness development programs and a commitment to responsible sourcing. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with detailed information about their mission, programs, and sustainability efforts. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS, uses modern web technologies, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices.

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.

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 Ferrero Hazelnut Company holds a significant position in the hazelnut industry, leveraging the global reach and reputation of the Ferrero Group. Their business model integrates agribusiness development with manufacturing, focusing on sustainable practices and quality assurance. The company targets agribusiness partners, farmers, and sustainability stakeholders. Their ecosystem includes partnerships and programs across multiple countries, indicating a broad and collaborative approach. The website content and linked domains reinforce their market presence and commitment to sustainability. The absence of direct contact information on the main page suggests a controlled communication channel, possibly centralized through the parent company. The company appears to be large, established in 2015, with a clear focus on innovation and quality in the hazelnut sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. The cookie consent mechanism is present but does not enforce active consent, which may be a GDPR compliance gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The WHOIS data unavailability is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate informational site but could be enhanced with additional headers, explicit privacy policies, and incident response details to strengthen trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy policy page with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Enhance cookie consent mechanism to require explicit user consent and provide granular controls.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and AddToAny for social sharing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links. Performance is moderate with video content and multiple CSS/JS assets loaded. SEO is supported by canonical tags, hreflang for multilingual support, and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the corporation. No hosting provider details were found. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a corporate informational site, though performance optimization could be further improved by asset minification and caching strategies.
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.
