LEDVANCE US and Canada · Energy · United States

Medium risk. 5 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 2 other checks.

Security score

68/100

Risk levelMedium

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

LEDVANCE US and Canada operates as a provider of general lighting products, including the SYLVANIA brand, targeting commercial and residential markets in North America. The website is built on Microsoft SharePoint and integrates common analytics and consent management tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Usercentrics. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. The website lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts compliance and trust. Security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing security headers and publishing security policies. Overall, the site is accessible and safe for general audiences but requires enhancements in privacy and security transparency to strengthen trust and compliance.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  4. 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

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 positions itself in the energy sector with a focus on lighting solutions, leveraging the SYLVANIA brand. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing lighting products to commercial and residential customers. The website content is basic but consistent with the brand's identity. The lack of detailed business information, contact details, and certifications limits the ability to fully assess market positioning and growth indicators. The use of standard marketing and analytics tools indicates a moderate digital maturity. No suspicious or unrelated external domains were found, suggesting a focused partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate with HTTPS likely enabled (inferred from external scripts loaded over HTTPS), but no security headers were detected in the provided data. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and security culture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The site would benefit from enhanced security best practices, including security headers, clear privacy policies, and incident response information to improve resilience and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add visible contact information including security incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and mobile optimization to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Microsoft SharePoint, a mature CMS platform suitable for enterprise content management. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management. The site loads external resources over HTTPS, indicating basic SSL/TLS usage. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. The HTML content is extensive but lacks modern SEO and accessibility enhancements. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider information was detected. Technical debt appears moderate, with opportunities for modernization and improved compliance.
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.
