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

Batistehair.com is the official website for Batiste Dry Shampoo, a consumer retail brand specializing in hair care products. The site is owned by Church & Dwight Co., Inc., a large and established corporation in the consumer goods sector. The website offers a range of dry shampoo products, leave-in hair masks, and hair care tips, targeting consumers seeking quick and effective hair refresh solutions. The brand is well positioned in the retail market with award recognition and a strong social media presence. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel, integrates Google Tag Manager, YouTube APIs, and uses OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Embedded third-party services include Salesforce chat and MikMak for e-commerce affiliate links. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy hosted on the parent company’s domain. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the Batiste brand. The main risk is the absence of WHOIS registration data, which limits domain transparency. However, the strong brand association and external references mitigate this concern. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts.

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

6 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

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

Batiste operates as a consumer retail brand under Church & Dwight Co., Inc., focusing on hair care products, primarily dry shampoos. The business model centers on product sales through e-commerce and retail channels, supported by digital marketing and community engagement. The brand targets beauty-conscious consumers looking for convenient hair care solutions. The presence of affiliate partnerships (MikMak) and embedded chat services (Salesforce) indicates a mature digital ecosystem. The company leverages social media platforms extensively for brand awareness and customer interaction. Market positioning is strong with award recognition and a broad product portfolio. Growth indicators include active content updates and multimedia tutorials. The partnership ecosystem includes parent company resources and third-party marketing and chat providers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are exposed, minimizing phishing risks. Embedded third-party scripts are numerous, which requires ongoing security monitoring to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for typical consumer interactions but could improve in formal security practices and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and embedded services to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components, Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags, and YouTube iframe API for embedded videos. OneTrust manages cookie consent, ensuring regulatory compliance. Salesforce Embedded Service provides live chat functionality. MikMak is integrated for affiliate e-commerce links. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. Performance is moderate, with multiple external scripts that may impact load times. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. The technical infrastructure is typical for a consumer brand website, balancing rich content with marketing and customer engagement tools. Opportunities exist to optimize script loading and improve 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.
