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

Materiom is a technology-driven organization focused on accelerating the development of next-generation bio-based materials through open data and AI tools. The company serves a diverse audience including scientists, producers, and brands, positioning itself as an innovative leader in sustainable materials innovation. Their platform offers AI-assisted ingredient discovery, an open-access biomaterials recipe database, and a collaborative community environment. Technically, the website is built on modern Webflow infrastructure, leveraging Google Analytics and Tag Manager for insights, and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism ensuring GDPR compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit incident response policies could be improved. Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism, excellent content quality, and strong trust indicators, despite the lack of publicly available WHOIS registrant data due to privacy protection.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

  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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 19 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

Materiom operates in the technology and manufacturing sectors with a non-profit orientation, focusing on sustainable bio-based materials. Their business model revolves around providing open data and AI tools to accelerate R&D and innovation in biomaterials. The platform supports a global community of over 20,000 innovators across 90+ countries, indicating significant market reach and influence. Partnerships and support from recognized organizations enhance their credibility. Revenue streams likely include memberships, AI tool access, and possibly grants or sponsorships. The company emphasizes transparency and community collaboration, which are competitive advantages in the sustainability and materials innovation space.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling. The presence of a cookie consent banner with customization options aligns with privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No security.txt or incident response contact information is found, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The organization should consider enhancing security policies and publishing clear incident response procedures to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a dedicated security policy page to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with fast loading times and good accessibility features. SEO practices are solid with appropriate meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization information. Hosting is provided by Webflow, a reputable platform. The technical infrastructure supports a seamless user experience and efficient content delivery. Opportunities exist to improve security configurations and add advanced monitoring or logging capabilities to further reduce technical risks.
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.
