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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 Group is a medium-sized manufacturing company specializing in sanitary and heating installation products. Its business model revolves around manufacturing, distribution, and after-sales service, supported by a network of partner and subsidiary sites across Eastern Europe. The company leverages certifications such as ISO 9001 to enhance credibility and targets professional installers and consumers seeking quality bathroom and heating solutions. The presence of multiple mini-sites and catalogs suggests a diversified product portfolio and a focus on customer engagement through design inspiration and service offerings. The company’s digital ecosystem includes partnerships with TERMET and other related brands, indicating a collaborative market approach. Growth indicators include active marketing, social media presence, and continuous product updates.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting compliance with basic security and privacy standards. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks from external dependencies. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate to good but could benefit from additional hardening and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end framework (Foundation) combined with jQuery and FontAwesome for UI components and icons. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Pinterest Tag, indicating a sophisticated marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO metadata including language alternates and meta descriptions. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize page load times. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could improve accessibility and security header implementation to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
