Low risk. No critical or high findings.

Security score

Risk levelLow

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

Puratos is a global manufacturing company specializing in bakery, patisserie, and chocolate ingredients and products. The website targets professional bakers, patissiers, and chocolatiers, offering product information, recipes, and consumer insights. The site is well-structured, localized for Kenya, and uses modern web technologies including Adobe Experience Manager CMS and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The website is secured with HTTPS and shows good technical implementation and user experience. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Additionally, the lack of visible privacy, cookie, and contact information policies indicates gaps in compliance and user trust facilitation.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      No DKIM record found

      DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to emails

      What to do: Configure DKIM with your email provider

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

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 with a focus on food ingredients for bakery and chocolate industries. The company maintains a strong global presence with localized websites for many countries, including Kenya. Their business model is B2B, supplying ingredients and solutions to professional food producers. The website content reflects a mature brand with consistent branding and good content quality. The absence of direct contact details and privacy policies on the site may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The company likely benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem given the multiple country domains and product offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, no security headers were detected, and there is no visible security or incident response policy. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. The missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, potentially indicating domain registration issues. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve transparency and compliance with security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incidents.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response information, including a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Google Tag Manager and FontAwesome. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and lazy loading of images. SEO is supported by canonical links, hreflang tags for internationalization, and meta descriptions. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. No major technical debt or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content.
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.
