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

NORMA Sàrl operates as a discount food retailer primarily serving the French market with additional presence in Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. The website offers consumers access to discount offers, interactive catalogues, and store locators, targeting general consumers interested in affordable groceries and regional or organic products. The business model focuses on discount retail with a medium-sized footprint of 71 stores in the Grand-Est region of France. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap, uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics, and is hosted behind Akamai CDN services, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms implemented, though some security headers are not evident in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the professional presentation and consistent branding. Overall, the site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and compliant with GDPR cookie consent requirements.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

NORMA holds a stable position in the discount retail sector in France and neighboring countries, leveraging regional and organic product offerings to differentiate itself. The company maintains a multi-country presence with localized websites and marketing. Revenue streams likely derive from in-store sales and promotional catalogues. The target customer segment is price-conscious consumers seeking quality discount food products. The partnership ecosystem includes related NORMA sites in Germany, Austria, and Czech Republic. The company actively engages customers via newsletters and social media channels. Strategic observations suggest NORMA focuses on regional market penetration and digital engagement through interactive catalogues and online store locators.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a detailed cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. Use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options could be improved. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating a potential compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail website but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery 3.6.1, Bootstrap 3.4.1, and MasterSlider for UI components and interactivity. Matomo analytics is used for visitor tracking, indicating a preference for open-source privacy-friendly tools. Hosting appears to leverage Akamai CDN services for performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate with some room for improvement in loading speed and SEO optimization. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from updates to accessibility and security best practices.
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.
