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 B2B sales of bakery and chocolate ingredients. The company targets professional culinary audiences and maintains a global footprint with multiple regional domains and language support. The business model centers on ingredient innovation and quality improvement for baking professionals. The website's use of advanced analytics and A/B testing tools suggests a data-driven approach to customer engagement and marketing. The absence of publicly available WHOIS data is consistent with privacy protection practices common among large enterprises. Puratos' extensive partner and regional network supports its market reach and operational scale.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configurations and implements key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, indicating a solid baseline security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page, vulnerability disclosure program, or incident response contact information represents a gap in transparency and readiness communication. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, a robust enterprise content management system, and uses modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools including Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preloads fonts for performance. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a secure browsing experience. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. The site structure supports SEO best practices with canonical links and hreflang tags for internationalization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
