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 as a manufacturer and supplier of electrical installation goods, emphasizing energy efficiency and protection solutions. The business model revolves around product manufacturing and technical support services. The website targets professionals in energy management and electrical installation, offering detailed product categories and support channels. The company appears to have a large operational scale with multiple regional domains indicating a global presence. The lack of direct contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in customer engagement and regulatory compliance. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools points to an active digital marketing strategy. No suspicious or fraudulent patterns were detected, supporting a credible business reputation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and deferred loading of scripts to optimize performance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security transparency and readiness. The site lacks enhanced HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which could further harden the security posture. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing formal security and incident response documentation and implementing additional HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add direct contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with modern frontend technologies including Font Awesome 6 and Bootstrap for responsive design. Analytics are handled via Piwik PRO and marketing experiments via Abtasty, indicating a mature digital marketing and analytics infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with clear navigation and structured content. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading. No major technical debts or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve SEO by adding structured data and enhancing meta tags further. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found in 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.
