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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

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 flexible flooring solutions with a diversified product range tailored to multiple market segments. Its business model focuses on B2B sales, supported by digital tools such as product simulators and extensive documentation. The company leverages a global network of subsidiaries and partner domains to serve different geographic markets. Sustainability and corporate responsibility are emphasized as key differentiators. The website's content and structure support professional users with detailed product categories, segment-specific solutions, and service offerings. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a controlled communication channel via forms, typical for large enterprises. The integration of analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, Content Security Policy with nonce, and use of Drupal security modules. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. No security contact emails or abuse channels are provided, which could hinder timely incident reporting. The site uses third-party scripts for analytics and consent management, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance documents and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails for incident reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security with CAPTCHA or other anti-bot measures to prevent abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Usercentrics CMP for cookie consent. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and integrates web fonts via Google Fonts API. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with deferred and async loading of scripts. Security features include HTTPS and Content Security Policy with nonce tokens. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional B2B digital presence. Opportunities exist to improve hosting transparency and optimize performance further.
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.
