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

VJ Salomone Limited is a well-established holding company based in Malta with over 50 years of experience. It operates through multiple subsidiaries specializing in consumer lines, marketing, pharmaceuticals, and business solutions. The company manages a large portfolio of over 380 brands and employs around 300 staff, positioning itself as a significant regional player. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with clear branding and comprehensive business information. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using popular plugins and frameworks, offering moderate performance and good mobile optimization.

Privacy compliance is partial with privacy and cookie policies present but no active consent mechanism. Overall, the website is credible and functional but could improve in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 targets business partners and customers in consumer goods and pharmaceutical sectors, leveraging a diversified business model through its subsidiaries. Its market position is supported by a broad brand portfolio and a medium-sized workforce. The website indicates a stable business with a clear organizational structure and digital presence. Partnerships include a technology provider (9H Digital) and multiple subsidiary domains. The business model focuses on distribution, marketing, and pharma services, with growth potential in digital marketing and pharma sectors. The absence of detailed financial or certification information limits deeper business intelligence but the company's longevity and diversified operations suggest stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The site uses common WordPress plugins, which require regular updates to avoid vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or critical vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie and privacy policies present but no active consent mechanism, which may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add an incident response policy and contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent mechanism that obtains active user consent to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with popular plugins such as LayerSlider, Slider Revolution, and WPBakery Page Builder, indicating a mature but standard technical infrastructure. The use of Google Fonts and Google Analytics shows integration with common web services. Performance is moderate, with some heavy slider scripts and multiple CSS files. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is well addressed with Yoast SEO plugin metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Accessibility is basic, with no explicit ARIA roles or advanced accessibility features detected. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
