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

1 finding 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 in approximately 50 countries, positioning itself as a market leader in building materials with a strong focus on sustainability and ESG compliance. Its business model integrates manufacturing with digital services to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. Investor relations and sustainability reporting are prominently featured, indicating transparency and engagement with stakeholders. The company leverages partnerships and digital tools to drive innovation and market growth. The website content and structure support a broad target audience including investors, customers, and potential employees.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management, and use of Cloudflare Bot Management. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are partially inferred but not explicitly confirmed. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Ensure all recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) are explicitly set and documented.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, utilizing modern web standards including responsive design, WebP images, and JavaScript modules. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and CDN usage. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical infrastructure appears robust and well-maintained, with opportunities to enhance security headers and incident response mechanisms.
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.
