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

objectflor Art und Design Belags GmbH is a medium-sized German company specializing in high-quality, innovative, and elastic flooring solutions, primarily vinyl and rubber floors. As a subsidiary of James Halstead plc, it serves 16 countries in Central Europe and holds a leading market position in the flooring industry. The company offers a broad product portfolio, including design floors, technical vinyl, and rubber flooring, complemented by services such as design studios, training seminars, and a partner network. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and targets both B2B and B2C customers seeking sustainable and functional flooring solutions. Technically, the site runs on TYPO3 CMS with integrations for consent management and analytics, but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and modern TLS protocols. This significantly impacts the security posture and overall trustworthiness of the site. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-consistent policies and consent mechanisms. Business credibility is strong, supported by certifications and transparent contact options. Strategic improvements in SSL deployment and security headers are essential to enhance user trust and protect data integrity.

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

9 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

objectflor maintains a strong market presence in the European flooring sector, leveraging its parent company James Halstead plc's resources. Its competitive advantage lies in product innovation, sustainability focus, and comprehensive customer support services. The business model combines product manufacturing with digital tools like an online design studio and downloadable technical resources, enhancing customer engagement. The company targets architects, planners, commercial clients, and end consumers, emphasizing quality and environmental responsibility. Partnerships with certification bodies and active social media engagement further strengthen its ecosystem. Growth indicators include a well-maintained multilingual website, active event participation, and a broad partner network. The company’s operations reflect a mature and stable business with opportunities for digital and security enhancements.

Security posture

The current security posture of objectflor.de is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The site lacks critical security headers such as HSTS and does not support modern TLS protocols, further weakening transport security. DNS security features like DNSSEC and CAA records are not implemented, increasing the risk of DNS spoofing and unauthorized certificate issuance. While forms include GDPR-compliant consent and captcha mechanisms, the overall infrastructure does not meet modern security standards. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, indicating limited transparency in security governance. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of DNS security are recommended to mitigate risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide to secure data in transit.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to protect DNS integrity and certificate issuance.
  4. Upgrade server TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols only.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Enhance accessibility features and performance optimization for better user experience.
  8. Maintain and promote certifications and trust signals prominently on the website.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical foundation. The use of Apache server and integration of Usercentrics CMP for cookie consent and Matomo for analytics shows attention to privacy and data tracking. However, the absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a critical technical deficiency. Performance metrics are missing or zero, suggesting potential issues with load time measurement or optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and clear navigation, enhancing usability. Hosting appears to be managed by TRO network based on nameservers. The technical stack is modern but requires urgent security upgrades and performance tuning to meet current web standards and user expectations.
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.
