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

8 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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. 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"

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Chemours Company’s Viton™ brand holds a strong market position in manufacturing high-performance fluoroelastomers used across multiple industrial sectors including automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, and oil and gas. The company leverages its established brand and parent company backing to maintain competitive advantages through product quality, technical support, and licensing programs. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales, licensing fees, and technical consulting. The target customers are industrial manufacturers and engineers requiring durable sealing and elastomer solutions. The website’s multilingual support and extensive product and industry information indicate a global reach and growth orientation. Partnerships are evident with the parent company Chemours and related brand sites. The company’s operations reflect a large enterprise with a focus on innovation and customer support.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, no exposed sensitive information, and use of reputable analytics and consent tools. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts represents a compliance gap and potential risk in transparency. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. GDPR compliance is supported by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of public contact channels. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and verify security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and user privacy rights.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize tracking and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern front-end technologies including FontAwesome for icons, Flickity for carousels, and Google Tag Manager for marketing and analytics integration. Microsoft Application Insights and Cloudflare Insights provide performance and telemetry data. The site uses asynchronous script loading to optimize performance and is mobile responsive with good accessibility features. The CMS is not explicitly identified but appears custom or proprietary. Hosting is likely via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site demonstrates fast loading times and good SEO practices with comprehensive meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by adding security headers and publishing technical documentation.
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.
