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

GrassMaster Solutions is a well-established company specializing in hybrid grass technology for sports pitches, with a history dating back to 1989. They hold a market-leading position and are part of Tarkett Sports, offering innovative hybrid turf solutions globally. The website demonstrates a professional digital presence with multilingual support, modern CMS usage, and integration of privacy and security features such as cookie consent and reCAPTCHA. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which should be further investigated. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the website is functional, user-friendly, and compliant with privacy regulations, but business credibility is slightly impacted by domain registration inconsistencies.

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. 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

GrassMaster Solutions targets sports clubs, municipalities, and turf professionals with hybrid grass products and services. Their business model includes manufacturing, installation, innovation, and support services. The company leverages its pioneering status and partnership with Tarkett Sports to maintain a competitive advantage. The website content and social media presence support strong brand recognition and trust. Growth indicators include recent news about installations and innovation centers. The partnership ecosystem includes Tarkett Sports as the parent company. Strategic observations suggest focusing on clarifying domain registration and enhancing security transparency to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to secure forms, indicating a baseline security posture. Cookie consent mechanisms demonstrate privacy awareness. However, no security headers were detected, and no public security or incident response policies were found. The lack of WHOIS data is a significant risk factor, potentially indicating domain registration issues or privacy protection that is not clearly justified. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements in transparency, header implementation, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and correct domain WHOIS registration to ensure legitimacy and trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Fork CMS with modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Modernizr, and uses Slick Carousel for UI elements. Google reCAPTCHA v2 is integrated for form security. CookieYes is used for cookie consent management, supporting GDPR compliance. The site is responsive and multilingual, indicating good technical maturity. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and SEO improvements.
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.
