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

      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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Plukon operates in the manufacturing sector focused on poultry and food products, serving a broad European market. The business model revolves around supplying fresh and processed poultry products to leading food retailers and service providers. The company demonstrates strong commitment to sustainability and compliance, publishing multiple CSR reports and maintaining whistleblower procedures. The presence of multiple country-specific domains indicates a decentralized but coordinated group structure. Revenue figures cited (~3.3 billion euros in 2024) and extensive employee base indicate a large enterprise. The website content and navigation cater to both business partners and potential employees, reflecting a mature corporate communication strategy.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were found in the HTML content. Security headers are partially implemented but could be enhanced to improve protection against common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact emails were found. The use of WordPress and associated plugins requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is solid for a corporate website but could benefit from formalized security disclosures and enhanced header policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.4.2 using WPBakery Page Builder and leverages LiteSpeed caching for performance. It uses jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Hosting is provided by TransIP, a reputable European hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate with deferred JavaScript loading and font preloading. Some minor technical debt is present in the form of missing or incomplete security headers and basic accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional corporate web presence with room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
