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

7 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

      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"

    • 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';…

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

Business profile

Sartori Cheese operates in the artisan cheese manufacturing and retail sector, targeting cheese enthusiasts, retailers, and foodservice providers. Their competitive advantage lies in their multi-generational family heritage, commitment to quality, and innovation in cheese flavors and formats, including snackable cheese bites and spreads. The acquisition of Rumiano Cheese Company expands their portfolio into organic cheese and butter, enhancing market reach. Sartori maintains strong partnerships with local Wisconsin family farms, emphasizing sustainability and quality milk sourcing. Their digital ecosystem includes an e-commerce platform, educational content, and active social media engagement, supporting brand loyalty and customer engagement. The company’s strategic focus on product innovation, quality assurance, and community involvement positions it well for continued growth in the specialty cheese market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure handling of forms and user inputs. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The presence of a cookie consent banner and detailed privacy policy indicates compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page suggests an area for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party scripts is monitored, but continuous auditing is recommended to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, Sartori demonstrates a strong security culture aligned with industry best practices, minimizing risk exposure while supporting user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention disclosures in the privacy policy to improve compliance and user awareness.
  5. Continue investing in security awareness and training for staff to maintain a strong security culture.

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.
