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.
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
High
No SPF record found
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
This scan found 27 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
natureplus holds a strong market position as a reputable certification body for sustainable building products in Europe. Their business model revolves around product certification, testing, and providing a trusted eco-label recognized by multiple certification systems and funding programs. The organization targets manufacturers and industry stakeholders focused on environmental and health standards in construction. Partnerships with baubook GmbH and other industry players enhance their ecosystem. The website's multilingual capabilities and product database accessibility indicate a customer-centric approach and growth orientation. The absence of detailed financial or founding data limits deeper business intelligence but the overall presence suggests a medium-sized, established non-profit entity.
Security posture
The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of anti-spam technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could enhance transparency and trust. Privacy compliance is well addressed through a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and formalized incident response documentation.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
Add a clear cookie policy and consent banner to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency and readiness.
Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Weglot for multilingual support and Lenis for smooth scrolling. Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile are integrated for form spam protection. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN infrastructure, ensuring moderate to good performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses semantic HTML elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and alternate language links. Some technical debt is noted in missing security headers and lack of explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
