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

Fruitnet is a professional media publisher specializing in news, analysis, and commentary for the global fresh produce industry. The website serves industry professionals by providing up-to-date information, event promotion, podcasts, and video content. It holds a leading market position as a fresh produce business publisher with multiple branded sub-sites targeting different regional markets. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent, hosted behind Amazon CloudFront CDN. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is supported by a cookie consent mechanism but lacks a clearly accessible privacy policy or terms of service pages. The WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain is unregistered, which is a significant anomaly that reduces trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy in content but should address domain registration transparency and improve security and privacy disclosures.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

Fruitnet operates in the media sector focused on the fresh produce industry, targeting business professionals and companies involved in fruit and vegetable production, distribution, and trade. Its business model centers on content publishing, event organization, and industry networking. The presence of multiple partner event sites and branded sub-sites indicates a broad partnership ecosystem and diversified content offerings. The website's design and navigation support a professional user experience, enhancing its competitive advantage in the niche market. However, the lack of visible company registration or contact details limits transparency. The domain registration inconsistency is a risk factor that should be investigated. The company likely generates revenue through advertising, event sponsorships, and subscriptions.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner via OneTrust, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a critical concern, as it may indicate domain registration issues or privacy protection that is not justified. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in security headers, policy disclosures, and domain registration transparency to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  4. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery 3.4.1, Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, which supports performance and availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Typekit fonts for branding consistency. Advertising is managed through Google Publisher Tags, indicating monetization via ads. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but present. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved transparency in domain registration.
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.
