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

Puratos Ethiopia is a localized website of Puratos, a global company dedicated to providing high-quality bakery, patisserie, and chocolate ingredients and products. The website targets professional bakers, pastry chefs, and chocolatiers in Ethiopia, offering a range of products, recipes, and services to improve baked goods quality. The site is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS and uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and FontAwesome. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a professional user experience with clear navigation and rich content. However, the absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, although the active and professional website presence suggests a legitimate business operation. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled, but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. Contact information and incident response details are not explicitly provided, which may impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 and retail sectors, focusing on supplying ingredients and solutions to the food industry, specifically bakery, patisserie, and chocolate segments. The Ethiopian site is part of a global network with multiple localized domains, indicating a broad international footprint. The business model is B2B, targeting professional food producers and artisans. The company leverages a strong brand with consistent messaging and product offerings. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies on the site may limit customer engagement and regulatory compliance. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates active marketing and analytics efforts. There is no evidence of affiliate or partner domains directly linked from this site. The company appears to maintain a solid market position with a focus on innovation and quality.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and lack of visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information indicate gaps in compliance and security transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The site uses standard web technologies and scripts without known vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing security headers, formal privacy documentation, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add visible and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and publish WHOIS domain registration details to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS platform, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It uses modern front-end libraries like FontAwesome and Slick Carousel for UI components and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and features good SEO practices including meta tags and hreflang links for internationalization. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and preloading fonts. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details were not available from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
