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

3 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.

    • 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

  2. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Gerflor holds a strong market position as a leader in commercial flooring solutions, supported by multiple product brands and subsidiaries. Its business model centers on manufacturing and marketing eco-responsible flooring and wall covering products for diverse sectors including healthcare, education, hospitality, and industry. The company leverages digital tools such as product simulators and sample ordering to enhance customer engagement. Partnerships and related domains indicate a broad ecosystem supporting its operations. The website's comprehensive content and social media presence suggest active marketing and customer support strategies. Growth indicators include new product launches and sustainability commitments. The company targets professional specifiers and commercial clients, emphasizing quality and innovation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent management via Usercentrics, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. Use of Drupal security modules like seckit indicates attention to security best practices. However, the lack of visible HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms appear to be standard with required fields, but explicit CSRF tokens or advanced input validation details are not visible. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent, which could be improved to strengthen security transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Audit and monitor third-party scripts regularly to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility with verified company emails and phone numbers for improved trust and support.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Usercentrics for cookie consent. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of fonts and scripts. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though the absence of some security headers and limited visible hosting information suggest opportunities for infrastructure transparency and security improvements. The site architecture supports rich content delivery and user engagement features such as product simulators and sample ordering.
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.
