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

Villeroy & Boch is a well-established premium brand specializing in high-quality porcelain, glassware, cutlery, and stylish bathroom and kitchen ceramics, serving a broad consumer market primarily in Switzerland and internationally. The website reflects the company's heritage dating back to 1748, emphasizing craftsmanship and timeless design. The digital infrastructure leverages modern technologies such as React and Chakra UI, supported by a Magnolia CMS backend, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. Privacy and cookie consent are managed effectively through Usercentrics, and analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Kameleoon for optimization and A/B testing. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, though the absence of a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for improvement. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and aligned with the company's market position.

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 in the retail and manufacturing sectors, targeting consumers seeking premium home and lifestyle products. Its long history and consistent branding provide a competitive advantage in the luxury ceramics market. The business model focuses on direct retail and brand presence across multiple countries, supported by a comprehensive online platform. The website's multilingual support and extensive product offerings indicate a mature digital strategy. Partnerships and integrations with consent management and analytics providers demonstrate a commitment to compliance and data-driven marketing. The company maintains transparent contact information and legal details, reinforcing credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and consent management for cookies, aligning with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness communication. The use of third-party scripts like Kameleoon and Usercentrics is managed with asynchronous loading to minimize performance impact. Recommendations include publishing security policies and establishing clear incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website performance optimization to improve load times and user experience.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with Chakra UI for styling, ensuring responsive design and accessibility. It uses Magnolia CMS for content management, indicating a robust backend infrastructure. Analytics and consent management are integrated via Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics, respectively, supporting compliance and marketing efforts. Performance is moderate, with opportunities for optimization. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a secure browsing environment. The technical stack supports scalability and maintainability but would benefit from enhanced documentation of security practices and incident handling.
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.
