Medium risk. 1 critical or high finding in SSL/TLS.

Risk levelMedium

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

Puratos is a well-established supplier specializing in high-quality ingredients for bakery, patisserie, and chocolate sectors, targeting professional bakers and chocolatiers primarily in Belgium and internationally. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with multilingual support and advanced marketing tools such as Visual Website Optimizer and Google Tag Manager, indicating a focus on user experience and conversion optimization. The technical infrastructure is based on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, with good security practices including HTTPS and security headers. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, lack of explicit contact information, and restricted WHOIS data limit the overall trust and compliance posture. Strategic improvements in transparency and compliance documentation would enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

Puratos operates in the manufacturing sector, providing ingredients to professional clients in bakery and chocolate industries. The business model is B2B with a strong international footprint as evidenced by numerous country-specific domains and language versions. The company leverages digital marketing and A/B testing to optimize customer engagement. While the website content is professional and consistent with the brand, the lack of publicly accessible WHOIS data and contact details may impact customer confidence. There is no evidence of direct e-commerce functionality, suggesting a focus on lead generation and information dissemination. The company appears to maintain a solid market position with a comprehensive product offering.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes standard security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and Content-Security-Policy, reflecting a solid baseline security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, or security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. The use of third-party marketing and analytics tools introduces moderate tracking, which should be balanced with privacy compliance efforts. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a visible security policy and vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Add clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to facilitate customer and security communications.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure minimal privacy impact and compliance with data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging modern web fonts and iconography via FontAwesome. It integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools such as Visual Website Optimizer and Google Tag Manager for performance and user behavior analysis. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preloaded fonts for performance. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a secure browsing experience. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The lack of visible structured data such as JSON-LD limits SEO potential, though canonical and hreflang tags are well implemented for international SEO. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility optimizations.
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.
