Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

81/100

Risk levelLow

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

MANE Group is a leading French manufacturer specializing in fragrances and flavours, with a heritage dating back to 1871. The company operates globally, serving B2B customers in various industries requiring high-quality flavour and fragrance ingredients. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content about their products, innovation, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Analytics, and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, providing a good user experience. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms but lacks published security policies and incident response information, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the overall business credibility is supported by consistent branding and social media presence.

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. 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

  2. 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

MANE Group holds a strong market position as a top French and global player in the fragrance and flavour manufacturing sector. Their business model focuses on innovation, sustainability, and quality, targeting industrial clients in food, beverage, cosmetics, and consumer goods. The company leverages its 150-year history as a competitive advantage. Their digital ecosystem includes multiple language sites and active social media channels, indicating a global outreach strategy. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the website suggests a preference for controlled communication via contact forms. The company publishes CSR reports and engages in sustainability initiatives, enhancing its brand reputation and compliance with modern corporate standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent compliance, indicating awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of security headers, published security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for maturity improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of WHOIS transparency is a negative factor for trust but may be due to privacy protection services. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in security governance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved trust and communication.
  5. Clarify domain registration details to improve transparency and legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Craft CMS with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Swiper for interactive sliders. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, alongside Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site loads multimedia content such as videos and audio, indicating moderate performance demands. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features appear basic. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header configurations.
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.
