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

8 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"

  2. 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"

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Socomec operates in the energy sector, providing electrical equipment for network protection, measurement, and control. The business model revolves around manufacturing and supplying specialized products for low voltage electrical networks, targeting industrial clients and utility operators. The website's multi-regional domains and language options suggest a global footprint with localized market approaches. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement. The absence of explicit contact details and privacy policies on the main site may impact customer trust and compliance perception. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, indicating a focused and controlled digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. The site uses reputable analytics and marketing tools but lacks clear privacy and cookie consent mechanisms, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for enhancements in headers and privacy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing security policies and incident response procedures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, a widely used and robust content management system. It uses modern front-end libraries such as Font Awesome for icons and Bootstrap for responsive design. Analytics are handled via Piwik PRO and A/B testing via Abtasty, indicating a focus on user experience optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading to improve page speed. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content.
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.
