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

5 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  4. 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

Ceresit.by is positioned as a regional extension of Henkel's construction materials business, focusing on the Belarus market. The business model centers on manufacturing and retail of building materials, leveraging Henkel's global brand equity. The website supports the sales channel by providing product catalogs and contact information. The absence of direct e-commerce functionality suggests a B2B or distributor-focused approach. The presence of multiple localized sister sites indicates a broad regional strategy. The company benefits from Henkel's reputation and resources, enhancing market credibility. Growth potential lies in expanding digital engagement and adding more comprehensive contact and support channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements key security headers, indicating a mature security posture. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site does not appear to be behind a WAF challenge or security block, allowing full content access. Overall, security practices are solid but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and contact points for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Include incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Expand contact information to include verified company emails and physical addresses to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging a custom Helix-based framework with modern JavaScript libraries and Adobe Helix RUM for performance monitoring. It integrates OneTrust for cookie consent and RAQN services for commerce and identity management. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with proper meta tags and SEO configurations. Hosting appears to be managed by Henkel or trusted third-party CDNs. Performance is fast, and the site uses deferred script loading and preconnect hints. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve structured data completeness and add more comprehensive metadata for enhanced SEO.
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.
