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

Knoppers.fr is the official French website for the Knoppers brand, a confectionery product line specializing in wafers and bars. The site is part of the Storck group, a well-established confectionery company. The website provides product information, promotional content, and customer contact options primarily through a contact form. The site targets general consumers interested in light, crispy snack products. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, uses modern JavaScript libraries, and integrates Piwik analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional, consistent brand image. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the brand's online presence. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate digital maturity and good compliance with privacy regulations.

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. 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

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

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

Knoppers.fr operates as a branded product website under the parent company Storck, focusing on retail confectionery products. The business model centers on brand promotion and product awareness rather than direct e-commerce. The site supports multiple country-specific sister sites, indicating a broad European market presence. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms. The use of privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR indicates regulatory compliance. The partnership ecosystem includes related Storck brands such as Toffifee and Werther's Original. The site’s content and structure support a strong market position as a recognized confectionery brand with consistent branding and quality presentation.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site does not publicly disclose incident response or security policies, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of Piwik analytics suggests moderate user tracking balanced with privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in header policies and incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding direct verified contact information such as company emails or phone numbers to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system suitable for enterprise-level sites. It uses RequireJS for JavaScript module loading and AOS for animation effects, indicating a modern front-end approach. Piwik analytics is used for data collection, reflecting a preference for privacy-focused analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and image carousels that may impact load times but enhance user engagement. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
