Risk levelMedium

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

Paulig is an established retail company with a strong brand presence, operating primarily in the food and beverage sector. The website targets Latvian users and supports multiple languages, indicating a regional focus in the Baltic area. The company has a mature digital presence with a domain registered since 1997, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and uses modern web technologies such as Vue.js and Nuxt.js. The website implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR requirements but lacks visible privacy policy and terms of service pages, which are critical for full compliance and user trust. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain protections in place, but the absence of security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement. Overall, the website is professionally designed and functional, but enhancing privacy and security disclosures would strengthen trust and compliance.

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

6 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 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"

    • 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 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 Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

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

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

Paulig operates in the retail sector with a focus on food and beverage products. The company leverages a multilingual website to serve Baltic markets, indicating a strategic regional approach. The business model centers on product sales and brand promotion. The domain's long history and consistent registration data support a credible market position. The use of modern web frameworks and analytics tools suggests a commitment to digital maturity. However, the lack of explicit contact and compliance information may limit customer engagement and regulatory adherence. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections against unauthorized changes. The use of cookie consent tools aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The website would benefit from enhanced security transparency and technical hardening to mitigate potential risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks Vue.js and Nuxt.js, indicating a contemporary frontend architecture. Hosting and DNS are managed via AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance and scalability. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, and OneTrust scripts manage cookie consent, reflecting compliance efforts. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. However, SEO metadata is minimal, and no structured data (JSON-LD) was detected, which could be improved for better search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance.
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.
