Security score

70/100

Risk levelMedium

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Somfy is a well-established French company specializing in home automation and connected home solutions, offering a broad range of products including motorized shutters, security systems, heating and lighting controls, and smart home ecosystems. The company targets both consumers and professionals, supported by a professional ecommerce platform and extensive content resources. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive product information, customer support, and multimedia content. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies, including JSON-LD structured data, third-party marketing and analytics tools, and is optimized for mobile and accessibility. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and privacy compliance evident through cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned policies. However, the absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly, though the overall brand and certifications support legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency on security policies and incident response, and verifying security headers for improved protection.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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, Twitter, YouTube

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

  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 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 market position in the home automation sector, leveraging a B2C and B2B business model with a large product portfolio and professional services. The company benefits from a global footprint with multiple localized domains and a parent company structure under Somfy Group. Their marketing ecosystem includes trusted certifications and active social media engagement, supporting customer trust and brand recognition. The website's content strategy focuses on educating and inspiring customers, with detailed product categories and support resources. Somfy's partnerships and ecosystem integrations further strengthen its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS, cookie consent, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Use of third-party scripts is extensive but common for ecommerce and marketing. Missing explicit security policies and incident response information is a gap. Security headers presence is assumed but not explicitly confirmed. No WAF or blocking mechanisms detected, indicating open accessibility. Overall, the site is secure but could improve transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Verify and enforce security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  4. Provide clear contact channels for security incidents and vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Maintain updated WHOIS information to improve domain trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript, jQuery, JSON-LD for structured data, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as TagCommander, Nosto, and TrustCommander. The ecommerce backend appears to be Magento-based. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site is SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Some technical debt may exist in legacy script usage but overall infrastructure supports a professional ecommerce experience.
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.
