Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Email security and Security headers.

Security score

83/100

Risk levelLow

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

The website www.ceresit.at represents the Austrian regional presence of the Ceresit brand, a professional tile chemistry and adhesive product line under the global Henkel group. The site targets professional users in the construction and tiling industry, offering product information and resources. Technically, the site is built on Adobe Experience Manager with modern JavaScript frameworks and includes advanced observability and analytics tools such as Adobe Analytics and OpenTelemetry. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment but is typical for enterprise brands using privacy protection. Overall, the site is professional, well-branded, and technically mature, with room for improvement in transparency and contact information.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

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

Ceresit Austria operates as a regional subsidiary or partner site of Henkel, focusing on manufacturing and distributing tile adhesives and related products for professional users. The business model is B2B with a strong emphasis on product quality and professional application. The site links to multiple regional Ceresit domains, indicating a broad European presence. The company benefits from Henkel's global brand recognition and resources. No direct e-commerce or sales functionality was detected, suggesting the site serves primarily as an informational and marketing platform. The presence of advanced identity management (CIAM) hints at potential user account features or professional customer portals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of modern security and identity management technologies. Cookie consent is implemented in compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy and incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly linked from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security and incident response policy pages with contact information.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers.
  5. Ensure all security headers are explicitly set and documented for enhanced protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS with a modern front-end stack including Adobe Helix RUM for performance monitoring, OpenTelemetry for observability, and Adobe Analytics for user tracking. It uses RAQN CIAM for customer identity and access management, indicating advanced user management capabilities. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is fast with deferred script loading and preconnect hints. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely enterprise-grade given the technology stack.
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.
