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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

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

FERRO Group is positioned as a major player in the manufacturing sector for sanitary and heating fittings in Poland and Central Europe. Its competitive advantages include a stable market position, ecological solutions, broad operational scale, a skilled team, and high product quality. The company leverages its stock exchange listing to maintain transparency and investor confidence. Revenue streams primarily come from product sales and distribution through subsidiaries. The partnership ecosystem includes related manufacturing companies such as ferro.pl, novaservis.cz, and termet.com.pl, indicating a regional expansion strategy. The company targets B2B customers, investors, and job seekers, with clear communication channels and corporate governance disclosures. Growth indicators include recent press releases highlighting operational efficiency and strategic development plans. The website content and structure support a professional corporate image, facilitating stakeholder engagement and market positioning.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting an area for enhancement. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the HTML content. The use of reputable WordPress plugins reduces the risk of common CMS vulnerabilities, though continuous monitoring is recommended. The site does not provide a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program, which could improve security communication and incident handling. Compliance with privacy regulations is evident, but formal security frameworks or certifications are not mentioned, indicating potential for maturity growth in security management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Contact Form 7 for form handling, and Cookie Law Info for GDPR compliance. jQuery 3.7.1 is used for client-side scripting. The site loads CSS and JS resources efficiently and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource minification. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement and Open Graph tags for social media integration. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional corporate website with room for optimization in accessibility and security headers.
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.
