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

3 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 Australia leverages its global brand to maintain a strong presence in the smart home automation sector within Australia. Their business model focuses on B2C sales supported by local experts and electrical services. The company benefits from a broad product portfolio including blinds, shutters, gates, and smart controls, appealing to residential and commercial customers. The website integrates multiple regional and international Somfy domains, indicating a well-established partnership ecosystem. Marketing and analytics tools are used moderately to optimize user experience and engagement. The company’s digital presence is consistent with a large enterprise operating in the technology and real estate sectors.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure form handling, and cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. While explicit security headers are not visible in the HTML, the use of modern performance and tracking scripts suggests ongoing maintenance. There is no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure pages, which could be an area for improvement. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions and data collection, with recommendations to verify server-side headers and maintain third-party script security.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Establish a public vulnerability disclosure or security contact page to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.
  4. Enhance incident response readiness by publishing security policies or contact channels.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and user expectations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom platform (NetVertis_V6) with extensive use of JavaScript, jQuery, and TagCommander for marketing and analytics. It uses Akamai CDN for hosting and performance optimization. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features and SEO optimization including structured data (JSON-LD) for organization, services, and products. Embedded YouTube videos enhance content engagement. The technical infrastructure supports fast loading and a professional user experience. Opportunities exist to modernize CMS components and enhance server-side security 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.
