56/100

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

Romer Labs is a mature, globally recognized company specializing in innovative diagnostic solutions for food and feed safety, with a focus on mycotoxins, allergens, GMOs, and microbial contaminants. The company operates primarily in the healthcare sector, serving B2B clients such as laboratories and food industry professionals. It is a subsidiary of dsm-firmenich, reflecting strong corporate backing and market presence. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and well-structured, supporting multiple languages and providing comprehensive resources including news, webinars, and product catalogs. Technically, the site is built on Magento CMS, hosted on AWS CloudFront, and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, HubSpot forms, and Yoast SEO. While the site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, performance metrics are not explicitly available. Security headers are implemented, but the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that significantly reduce the site's security posture. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. Contact information is transparent and easily accessible, including email, phone, and physical address. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and maturity. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and maintain trust.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Romer Labs holds a strong market position as a leader in food safety diagnostics, leveraging its parent company dsm-firmenich's resources. Its business model focuses on providing diagnostic test kits, analytical services, and data management solutions to food and feed industry clients worldwide. The company targets laboratories, food manufacturers, and research institutions, emphasizing innovation and service quality. The website supports this positioning with extensive educational content, product information, and customer resources. Partnerships with major payment processors and marketing integrations indicate a mature e-commerce and digital marketing strategy. The company's longevity and domain age reinforce its credibility and stability in the market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with several best practices in place, such as security headers and HSTS. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols are critical security flaws that expose users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The Content Security Policy is only in report-only mode, limiting its protective effect. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, indicating potential gaps in security governance. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting good data protection practices. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security policies are recommended to elevate the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Install and properly configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure all communications.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols and disable insecure legacy protocols to protect data in transit.
  3. Enforce Content Security Policy in enforcement mode after thorough testing to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response plan to improve security transparency.
  5. Enhance session management by enabling session resumption and OCSP stapling for performance and security benefits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust Magento CMS platform, leveraging AWS CloudFront for content delivery. It integrates multiple modern JavaScript libraries and marketing tools, including Google Tag Manager, HubSpot forms, and Yoast SEO, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with structured data and Open Graph tags. However, the lack of SSL/TLS support is a significant technical deficiency. Performance data is unavailable, but the use of CDNs and caching headers suggests reasonable optimization. Accessibility is basic but present. Overall, the technical stack supports business needs but requires urgent security upgrades and performance monitoring.
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.
