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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy 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 S.A. holds a strong market position as a manufacturer of sanitary and heating solutions with a diversified product portfolio and international reach through localized country sites. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and distribution, supported by comprehensive product catalogues and technical documentation. The company leverages certifications like ISO 9001:2015 and Water Label to reinforce quality and trust. Their digital presence includes active social media channels and marketing tools, indicating a strategic approach to customer engagement and brand awareness. The absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests an area for improvement in transparency. The company appears to maintain a stable and credible operation with no suspicious patterns detected in domain registration or website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. The presence of ISO 9001:2015 certification indicates adherence to quality management standards, which may include security aspects. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or abuse contact information is publicly available, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and tracking pixels is transparent and accompanied by cookie consent, supporting privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including jQuery and the Foundation front-end framework, supported by FontAwesome icons for UI elements. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and language alternates for internationalization. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site lacks explicit hosting provider information and security headers, which could be addressed to improve security and performance. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
