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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

The company operates as an investment and development group with a diversified portfolio including subsidiaries in shipping, real estate, and other industrial sectors. Their business model centers on strategic investments in ambitious growth companies, supported by internal services such as HR, finance, technology, legal, and branding. The website targets investors, partners, and potential employees, emphasizing sustainability and corporate responsibility. The presence of multiple subsidiary domains and a detailed timeline highlights a mature and stable market position. The company leverages digital tools for marketing and communication but maintains minimal user tracking, aligning with privacy best practices.

Security posture

GC Rieber demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The website does not expose sensitive information and uses standard WordPress security practices. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the analyzed content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to increase transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility, including verified company emails and phone numbers.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using WPBakery Page Builder and Yoast SEO for content management and optimization. It supports multilingual content via WPML and includes various plugins for forms and accessibility. The site loads jQuery and uses FontAwesome and Material Icons for UI elements. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features such as font size controls and contrast adjustments. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning for faster load times.
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.
