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

Poujoulat is a leading European manufacturer specializing in chimney conduits and roof outlets for heating appliances such as stoves, inserts, and boilers. The company targets both professional installers and individual consumers, offering a broad product range and supporting services including a professional portal, online boutique, and configurator tools. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, good branding consistency, and active marketing and social media engagement. Technically, the site employs a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools but suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security concern. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are absent, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent improvements in SSL configuration and security headers to enhance its security posture.

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.

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

Poujoulat holds a strong market position as a leader in the chimney and heating conduit sector in Europe, focusing on energy-related manufacturing. The business model combines product manufacturing with a network of professional installers and retail distribution, supported by digital tools and customer service platforms. The company leverages partnerships and sponsorships to enhance brand visibility. The website's extensive content and multiple language versions indicate a large-scale operation with a broad geographic reach primarily in France and neighboring countries. The presence of professional portals and configurators suggests a focus on B2B and B2C segments. The company appears to invest in digital marketing and customer engagement but should address technical performance and security gaps to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate but with critical weaknesses. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support expose users to potential risks and undermine trust. While SPF and DMARC records are properly configured for email security, the lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption reduces SSL effectiveness. No advanced security headers are detected, and no public security policy or incident response contacts are provided. The site uses multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts, increasing the attack surface. Overall, the site needs immediate remediation of SSL issues and enhancement of security headers and policies to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols and disable outdated protocols to improve encryption strength.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance SSL performance and security.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Notes

The website uses a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Head.js, and Slick Carousel for UI and interaction. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Bing Ads, Matomo, Cookiebot, and Inbenta SDK for search and support. The site is built with responsive design principles and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph metadata. However, the page load time is high (approx. 27 seconds) with over 300 resources loaded, indicating potential performance bottlenecks. The SSL configuration is poor with no valid certificate and no TLS protocols enabled, which is a major technical risk. DNS records are properly configured with SPF and DMARC for email security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires 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.
