Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

Recticel is a well-established insulation company focused on sustainable thermal and acoustic solutions, targeting investors, customers, and partners in the energy sector. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, investor relations, and sustainability reporting. Technically, the site uses Drupal CMS with modern libraries and includes GDPR-compliant cookie consent and security measures such as HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data is unusual and warrants monitoring, though the website's content and linked domains strongly support legitimacy. Security posture is good but could be improved by adding more security headers and publishing a formal security policy or incident response information. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-optimized for users and compliance.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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

Recticel operates in the energy sector with a focus on insulation products that support climate change mitigation. Their business model centers on manufacturing and selling insulation boards, insulated panels, and acoustic solutions. The company maintains a strong sustainability and ESG focus, supported by transparent reporting and investor communications. Their network includes multiple subsidiary brands, indicating a diversified portfolio. The website targets investors, customers, and potential employees, reflecting a large enterprise with a global footprint. The digital ecosystem includes partner and subsidiary domains, enhancing brand reach and market presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security maturity. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response contact is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is solid but can be improved with additional controls and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact information.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing explicit data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for UI components. Google reCAPTCHA is integrated for bot protection on forms, and Cookiebot manages cookie consent. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize user experience. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicit. There is opportunity to improve security headers and publish more comprehensive security and privacy documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
