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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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

  3. 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 operates in manufacturing with a focus on flooring products for diverse sectors including transport, sports, hospitality, and retail. The business model revolves around product manufacturing and direct sales supported by technical documentation and design services. The company maintains a broad global presence with multiple subsidiaries and partner sites. Their sustainability initiatives and certifications enhance their competitive advantage. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multi-language support and integration of marketing and analytics tools, indicating a well-established business with growth orientation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, Content Security Policy with nonce, and security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. The use of SecKit module indicates proactive security hardening. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure page and lack of incident response contact emails are gaps. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF tokens or advanced input validation details are visible. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with transparency and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance form security with visible anti-CSRF tokens and input validation.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer to improve GDPR transparency.

Notes

Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics CMP are used for analytics and cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with deferred and async loading of scripts. The presence of security modules and CSP nonce indicates attention to security best practices. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained with room for performance optimization.
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.
