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

Villeroy & Boch is a historic and internationally recognized premium brand specializing in high-quality porcelain, glassware, cutlery, and home furnishings. The company has a strong market position in the retail and manufacturing sectors, targeting consumers seeking timeless design and craftsmanship. The website reflects a mature digital presence with modern technologies such as React and Chakra UI, supported by a Magnolia CMS backend. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are robust, indicating good compliance with GDPR. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, though the absence of a public security policy and incident response contact suggests room for improvement. Overall, the domain and website present a trustworthy and professional image consistent with the brand's heritage.

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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…
  2. 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

  3. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company operates a multi-national e-commerce and retail platform with localized domains for various countries, indicating a broad international footprint. The business model focuses on premium product sales in home and lifestyle sectors, leveraging brand heritage since 1748. The website integrates advanced analytics and consent management tools, supporting data-driven marketing while respecting privacy regulations. The absence of WHOIS data is consistent with privacy protection practices common among large enterprises. The company maintains a consistent branding strategy and offers comprehensive customer contact options, supporting strong customer engagement and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, security headers, and consent management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but further enhancements in security communication and incident handling would strengthen the overall security culture and customer confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact details to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance.
  5. Enhance website performance optimization to improve loading speed and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based front end with Chakra UI for styling, ensuring responsive and accessible design. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics enables advanced analytics and consent management. The backend CMS is Magnolia, a robust enterprise content management system. Performance is moderate, with opportunities for optimization. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed through proper meta tags and semantic HTML. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain technical excellence.
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.
