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

VELUX France operates as a leading manufacturer and retailer of roof windows and related products, serving homeowners, architects, and construction professionals primarily in France. The company offers a broad product portfolio including motorized windows, blinds, shutters, and accessories, supported by professional consultation and installation services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with modern technologies such as Vue.js, Algolia search, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring a fast, mobile-optimized, and user-friendly experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms.

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

7 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

      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

  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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

VELUX France holds a strong market position as a top roof window manufacturer with a comprehensive ecosystem including online shops, technical documentation, and professional resources. Their business model integrates product sales with value-added services such as design consultation and installation support. The company targets a diverse audience from end consumers to professionals, leveraging partnerships and digital marketing tools effectively. Growth indicators include active promotions, professional training (VELUX Academy), and sustainability reporting. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to multiple specialized domains and social media channels, enhancing customer engagement and brand trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks publicly accessible detailed security policies or incident response information, which could improve user trust and compliance posture. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The use of third-party scripts is standard but should be regularly audited. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is a minor gap. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information and procedures on the website.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Vue.js for frontend interactivity, Algolia for search functionality, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing integration. It uses Sitecore as the CMS platform, indicating enterprise-grade content management capabilities. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and images, asynchronous script loading, and responsive design ensuring excellent mobile usability. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. The site architecture supports clear navigation and user engagement with dynamic menus and rich multimedia content. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is advised to maintain security and performance.
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.
