Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website nufarm.com is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) blocking page, which prevents access to any substantive content. Nufarm is a well-established global agricultural chemical company with a mature domain registered since 1997. The domain registration details are consistent and indicate a legitimate business entity. However, the lack of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and the presence of a blocking WAF page severely limit the ability to assess the website's content, privacy, and security posture comprehensively. The technical infrastructure relies on Cloudflare for DNS and security services, but the absence of HTTPS and other modern security configurations is a critical vulnerability. Overall, the website's security posture is weak due to missing SSL and blocking mechanisms, and privacy compliance cannot be verified. Strategic improvements in SSL deployment and content accessibility are essential.

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

8 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Nufarm operates in the manufacturing and agriculture sectors, providing crop protection chemicals and seed products to farmers and agricultural businesses worldwide. The company has a large market presence and a mature domain age supporting its established position. The business model focuses on manufacturing and distribution, targeting agricultural professionals. Due to the blocked website content, detailed insights into revenue streams, partnerships, or growth indicators are unavailable. The domain's DNS and WHOIS data suggest strong domain protection and consistent registration information, reinforcing business credibility.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak, primarily due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support. While Cloudflare provides a WAF that blocks suspicious traffic, this also restricts legitimate access, impacting usability. Security headers are partially implemented but insufficient without HTTPS. No advanced security features such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, or session resumption are enabled. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The lack of privacy and cookie policies further indicates compliance gaps. Immediate remediation of SSL deployment and review of WAF rules to balance security and accessibility are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and improve security posture.
  2. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce secure connections.
  3. Configure OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance certificate validation and performance.
  4. Review and adjust Cloudflare WAF settings to reduce false positives and avoid blocking legitimate users.
  5. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare, which provides DNS and security services. However, no CMS or specific frameworks are detectable due to blocked content. The absence of SSL/TLS and modern security protocols is a significant technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable due to the WAF block. The site lacks visible metadata, structured data, or SEO optimizations. The technical stack is minimal and primarily reliant on Cloudflare's edge services. Modernization opportunities include SSL deployment, improved security headers, and enhanced accessibility and SEO features once content access is restored.
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.
