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

FERRO S.A. is a well-established manufacturer and distributor of sanitary and heating equipment, positioned as one of the largest in Central and Eastern Europe. The company operates multiple regional websites targeting various European markets, indicating a broad multinational presence. Their product portfolio includes plumbing fixtures, heating systems, and related accessories, supported by technical documentation and certifications such as ISO 9001:2015. The Lithuanian site represents the UAB Ferro Baltics subsidiary with clear contact information and social media presence, reinforcing brand trust. Technically, the website employs modern front-end technologies including jQuery, Foundation framework, and FontAwesome icons, with integration of Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and multilingual support. However, some technical improvements are recommended, such as adding security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS for external resources, but no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved to enhance security posture and compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency and trustworthiness, although the website content and business information appear professional and consistent. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and business credible, but the lack of WHOIS data and some security best practices suggest areas for improvement to strengthen 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

11 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

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 · found on this site
  • 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 S.A. holds a strong market position as a leading manufacturer of sanitary equipment in Central and Eastern Europe, leveraging a manufacturing and retail business model. Their competitive advantage lies in a broad product range, regional market coverage through sister sites, and recognized certifications like ISO 9001:2015. The company targets professional installers, distributors, retailers, and end customers seeking quality plumbing and heating solutions. The multilingual approach and regional subsidiaries indicate strategic market penetration and growth. Revenue streams likely include product sales and technical support services. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple regional websites serving localized markets, enhancing brand reach and customer engagement.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS for external resources, but no explicit security headers were found, which is a gap in security best practices. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, and no security contact channels are provided. Privacy compliance is basic with privacy and cookie policies present but lacking explicit consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain registration transparency, which impacts trust. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, incident response information, and enhanced privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve defense against common web attacks.
  2. Add explicit cookie consent mechanisms to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with clear security contact channels to improve security culture and readiness.
  4. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability issues to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced and maintain compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern front-end stack including jQuery and the Foundation framework, providing responsive design and good mobile optimization. FontAwesome icons enhance UI consistency. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing and analytics tracking. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation menus and multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected but potential for optimization exists. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Hosting provider details are not available from the content. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found.
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.
