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

2 findings 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"

  2. 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

Somfy operates in the technology and retail sectors, focusing on smart home and motorized shading solutions. The business model includes direct B2C sales and partnerships with installers and professionals. The company has a strong market position supported by a global brand and localized websites. Revenue streams likely include product sales, service, and support. The partnership ecosystem is evident with dedicated partner sites and online shops. Growth indicators include new product launches and smart home integration features. Strategic observations highlight Somfy's focus on innovation, customer support, and digital engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. Security best practices such as canonical URLs and structured data are implemented. However, the absence of advanced security headers like Content Security Policy and missing public incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represent areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. The security score is high but could be improved with additional measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate XSS risks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to enhance privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS platform likely based on ColdFusion, combined with modern front-end technologies including jQuery, SVG icons, and responsive images. Performance monitoring is integrated via Boomerang and TagCommander. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Hosting appears to leverage Akamai CDN for content delivery. The technical infrastructure is robust and supports a high-quality user experience. Opportunities exist to modernize some legacy components and improve security header configurations.
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.
