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

  • 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's website reflects a strong market presence in the building technology industry, emphasizing innovation in water management, heating, and digital building solutions. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing specialized plumbing and heating products, supported by digital tools and services. The site content and navigation cater to professional audiences, including installers, planners, and industry partners. The use of advanced analytics and consent management indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and compliance. No direct contact or security incident channels are visible, suggesting potential areas for transparency improvement. The brand maintains consistent messaging and high-quality content, reinforcing its credibility and leadership in the sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement and integration of consent management for privacy compliance. Use of Adobe Analytics is controlled with Usercentrics consent, reducing privacy risks. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness visibility. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the HTML but may be configured server-side. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing clear security and incident response information and ensuring all recommended HTTP security headers are present.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy page linked from the homepage.
  2. Add visible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  3. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Ensure all recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) are configured and verifiable.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing a dedicated security policy and incident response information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses Adobe Analytics for data collection. Usercentrics manages cookie consent, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and SVG icons for performance and scalability. The carousel and navigation are well implemented, supporting good user experience and mobile responsiveness. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve SEO by explicitly linking privacy and terms pages and enhancing security header visibility.
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.
