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

Villeroy & Boch is a well-established international brand specializing in high-quality porcelain, glass collections, cutlery, and stylish bathroom and kitchen ceramics and furniture. The company targets general consumers interested in premium home and lifestyle products, leveraging a retail and e-commerce business model. The website reflects the brand's heritage dating back to 1748 and positions itself as a leader in the retail sector for home goods in the Czech Republic and internationally. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React and Chakra UI, integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, and uses Usercentrics for consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and integrates reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is strong with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and active consent management. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing transparency on data retention and data protection officer contacts to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

9 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

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

Villeroy & Boch operates in the retail sector with a focus on home goods and lifestyle products. The brand's long history and international presence provide a competitive advantage and strong market positioning. The business model combines traditional retail with e-commerce, targeting consumers seeking premium quality and design. The website supports multiple localized domains, indicating a broad geographic reach. The company leverages analytics and consent management tools to optimize marketing and compliance. Growth indicators include a consistent brand image and comprehensive digital presence. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, modern security headers, and integration of reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Privacy compliance is well addressed through detailed privacy and cookie policies and consent management. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact stakeholder trust. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security score is good but could be improved by adding explicit security governance documentation and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security contact.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user data handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and Chakra UI, indicating a modern front-end framework and component library. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. No CMS or hosting provider details were identified. The technical stack supports a robust and scalable e-commerce platform but could benefit from additional backend security and monitoring tools.
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.
