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. 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 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

Somfy holds a strong position in the smart home technology sector, leveraging a B2C and B2B business model with direct online sales and a dealer network. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive product range and established brand reputation. Revenue streams include product sales, services, and partnerships. The company targets homeowners, professionals, and installers interested in home automation. Growth indicators include active content marketing, social media engagement, and continuous product innovation. The partnership ecosystem includes subsidiaries and related domains supporting professional and project segments. Strategic observations highlight a focus on customer support and digital engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure session management via SSO. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance with data protection regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS is a gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could benefit from additional best practices and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of security contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  5. Continue to monitor and improve privacy compliance and user consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, Facebook SDK, Google Analytics, and specialized marketing tools like Nosto and TagCommander. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and resource optimization. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, which may require dedicated maintenance. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which should be regularly audited. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
