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

Pacovis is a well-established family-owned company specializing in providing comprehensive solutions for the food industry and gastronomy sectors across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. With over 90 years of experience, the company offers a broad portfolio including packaging, hygiene, cleaning, protective equipment, spices, additives, and technological expertise. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on TYPO3 CMS, featuring modern JavaScript libraries and a user-friendly, mobile-optimized design. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented, demonstrating compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises minor concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website's content and certifications support its legitimacy.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention pacovis.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for pacovis.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Pacovis holds a strong market position as a B2B supplier in the hospitality and food manufacturing sectors, targeting bakeries, butcheries, caterers, dairy producers, and gastronomy businesses. Their business model focuses on supplying consumables, packaging, and hygiene products with tailored solutions and personal consultation. The company emphasizes sustainability through partnerships like naturesse and maintains certifications such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The website's comprehensive product catalog and service offerings indicate a robust operational infrastructure and customer-centric approach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs secure login forms with CSRF protection. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, and Piwik PRO analytics is used with anonymization options. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended HTTP headers and formalizing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact details on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and lozad.js for lazy loading. Piwik PRO is used for analytics with privacy-conscious configurations. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. The technical infrastructure appears stable and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
