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

SALFO & Associates SA is an established international engineering and management consulting firm based in Greece, with over 25 years of experience. The company offers a broad range of services across multiple sectors including energy, transportation, real estate, and government projects. Their market position is strong, supported by involvement in large-scale projects financed by governments and international donors. The website reflects a professional business model focused on engineering consultancy and project management services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and MonsterInsights for analytics. It employs Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security and uses a responsive design framework ensuring good mobile optimization. SEO practices are well implemented with structured data and meta tags. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response contact information, which are important for compliance and trust. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no exposed sensitive data was found. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • 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

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

SALFO operates in a competitive international engineering consulting market with a focus on large-scale infrastructure and management projects. Their competitive advantage lies in their multidisciplinary integrated approach and strong human resources with high academic and professional standards. The business model is service-oriented, targeting governments, international donors, and large infrastructure clients. Revenue streams likely come from consulting contracts, project management, and technical advisory services. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and digital presence, indicating growth and market engagement. Strategic observations suggest a focus on sustainability and innovation, aligning with global infrastructure trends.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. The use of HTTPS and reCAPTCHA indicates awareness of basic security needs. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response contacts reveals compliance gaps and potential risks. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or data protection officer contact, which are important for GDPR and NIS2 compliance. The business impact of these gaps includes potential regulatory penalties and reduced user trust. The security culture appears to be in early stages of maturity, with room for improvement in transparency and policy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with a modern theme and plugins that support SEO, analytics, and security features like reCAPTCHA. The technology stack includes jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, and Google Analytics via MonsterInsights plugin. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The site is mobile optimized and uses structured data for SEO benefits. Technical risks include reliance on third-party plugins which require regular updates to avoid vulnerabilities. There is no explicit hosting provider information, which could be relevant for assessing infrastructure security.
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.
