Puratos · Manufacturing · Portugal

Low risk. No critical or high findings.

Security score

86/100

Risk levelLow

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

Puratos is a well-established international company specializing in manufacturing and supplying products and ingredients for bakers, pastry chefs, and chocolatiers. The website targets professional audiences in the bakery and food manufacturing sectors, emphasizing quality and innovation. The company demonstrates a strong market presence with a consistent brand and multilingual support across many countries. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS and integrates advanced analytics and A/B testing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no blocking mechanisms detected; however, the absence of explicit security headers and privacy policies suggests room for improvement. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and clearer contact and security information.

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, focusing on bakery and chocolate ingredients. The business model is B2B, serving professional bakers and chocolatiers globally. The extensive hreflang tags indicate a broad international footprint. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize user experience and conversion. No direct revenue or subsidiary information was found, but the brand is positioned as a leader in its niche with 50 years of experience. The lack of visible certifications or trust badges on the site suggests an opportunity to strengthen trust signals. The company’s digital presence is consistent and professionally maintained.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and integrates reputable analytics and testing platforms, which is positive. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain risks. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, limiting transparency for security issues. The site does not appear to be behind a WAF or security challenge, indicating normal accessibility. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents, including abuse and security email addresses.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, a robust enterprise platform. It uses modern web fonts and iconography (Century Gothic, FontAwesome) and integrates Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer for analytics and A/B testing. The site is multilingual with extensive hreflang tags, indicating a well-structured international SEO strategy. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No major technical issues or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details were not found in the provided data.
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.
