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

Arrid.com is the official website for the Arrid brand, a well-established personal care product line specializing in deodorants and antiperspirants. The brand operates under the corporate umbrella of Church & Dwight, Inc., a large and reputable consumer goods company. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, offering detailed product information and clear navigation aimed at general consumers seeking sweat protection solutions. The site integrates standard marketing and tracking technologies such as Google Tag Manager and The Trade Desk pixel, alongside a robust cookie consent mechanism powered by OneTrust, reflecting a commitment to privacy compliance. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and absence of explicit security headers suggest areas for technical improvement.

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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

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 Arrid brand targets the retail consumer market for personal care products, leveraging the strong market presence and resources of its parent company, Church & Dwight, Inc. The business model focuses on product sales through various retail channels, supported by digital marketing and consumer engagement via the website. The site’s linkage to the parent company’s privacy policy and brand portfolio indicates a well-integrated corporate structure. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests reliance on contact forms and centralized corporate communication channels. Advertising practices are transparent and utilize reputable ad networks and tracking services, supporting effective market reach and retargeting capabilities.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent framework, indicating baseline security and privacy practices. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and the use of an outdated JavaScript library (jQuery 1.4.4) present potential security risks that could be exploited if not addressed. No explicit incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for a commercial retail site but with room for enhancement to meet higher security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Ensure all external scripts and resources are loaded securely over HTTPS.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy JavaScript libraries alongside modern marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for cookie management. The HTML structure is functional with clear navigation and product categorization, though mobile optimization is basic. Performance is moderate with no evident blocking or WAF challenges. The site lacks a detectable CMS or modern frameworks, suggesting a custom or legacy platform. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Technical debt is indicated by outdated libraries and missing security headers, which could impact security and maintainability if not addressed.
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.
