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. 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 28 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

The company positions itself as a key player in the food and beverage sector within South Africa, supported by a global parent company, Nestlé S.A. Its business model focuses on supplying innovative products and solutions to the hospitality and food service industries. The website's market switcher and multiple regional domains indicate a broad international footprint. The absence of direct contact emails but presence of a customer service phone number suggests controlled communication channels. The use of analytics and marketing tools supports data-driven business strategies. No suspicious or fraudulent indicators were found, reinforcing the company's credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and integration of cookie consent tools. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site does not currently provide a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced documentation and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user and data handling practices.
  3. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with extensive use of jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Carousel. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes, alongside OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. The technical infrastructure is robust and aligns with enterprise-grade standards, though hosting provider details were not discernible from the content.
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.
