Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and Email security.

Security score

82/100

Risk levelLow

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

Jotun is a globally recognized manufacturer of paints and coatings, serving diverse sectors including decorative, marine, protective, and powder coatings. The company positions itself as a leader in quality and innovation, protecting various types of properties from iconic buildings to homes. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a modern tech stack including React, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for privacy compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly disclosed. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not detract from the overall legitimacy given the company's established market presence and certifications. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and enhancing transparency with security.txt.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

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

Jotun operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on paints and coatings for multiple industries such as energy, transportation, and real estate. The business model combines B2B and B2C sales, targeting industrial clients, architects, and homeowners. The company holds ISO certifications indicating quality and environmental management. The website supports multiple languages and regional domains, reflecting a global footprint. Marketing and analytics tools are used responsibly with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals, positioning it as a large, reputable enterprise with a long history dating back to 1926.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and multiple security headers, indicating a strong baseline security posture. Privacy compliance is well managed through OneTrust cookie consent and a comprehensive privacy policy. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and proactive security communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts is standard but should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate security researcher communication.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing clear contact channels for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and EpiServer CMS, with integration of Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Application Insights for analytics and monitoring. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to leverage cloud CDN services such as AWS Cloudfront. The site uses OneTrust for cookie consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with opportunities to improve security transparency.
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.
