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. 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Viega operates in manufacturing and energy-related sectors, targeting construction professionals and sustainability-focused markets. Their business model centers on product innovation and digital integration in building technologies. The company’s long history and global footprint position it strongly in the market. The website content and structure support brand consistency and trust, with clear navigation and professional presentation. The use of advanced CMS and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing and operational approach. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent management. However, the lack of visible security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses secure forms and does not reveal any obvious security flaws. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Create and make accessible an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Clarify domain WHOIS registration details to resolve the current lack of public information and improve legitimacy perception.
  4. Include data protection officer contact information and enhance GDPR compliance disclosures.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize tracking risks.

  4. Use of modern web technologies and consent management tools.
  5. No visible security or privacy policy pages explicitly named but linked in footer.
  6. No visible contact form on homepage but contact phone and address provided.
  7. No explicit security incident or vulnerability disclosure information found.
  8. WHOIS data missing, which is unusual for a corporate domain.
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.
