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

Ceresit, a brand under the Henkel group, specializes in building materials focusing on tile laying, insulation, and sealing solutions. The website targets construction professionals and the building industry, offering professional systems used globally in over 60 countries. The site reflects a mature digital presence with a professional design, consistent branding, and comprehensive content relevant to its sector. Technically, the website leverages Adobe Experience Manager as its CMS, integrates modern analytics and tracking tools such as Adobe Analytics and OpenTelemetry, and employs GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. The site is optimized for performance and accessibility, providing a good user experience across devices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data, although it lacks a publicly visible security policy or incident response information. WHOIS data is not publicly available due to .pl domain privacy norms, but the domain aligns with the Henkel brand, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation with room for improvement in transparency around security policies and direct 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

6 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

  3. 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 operates as a large manufacturing entity within the building materials sector, leveraging the global reputation of its parent company Henkel. Its business model includes B2B and B2C channels, targeting professional builders and contractors. The brand maintains a strong market position with a broad international footprint. The website supports this with localized versions for multiple countries, indicating a strategic approach to regional markets. The use of advanced CMS and commerce APIs suggests investment in digital transformation. Partnerships with Henkel's digital asset management and identity services reinforce operational integration. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, likely via contact forms or regional offices. The company shows compliance with GDPR and cookie regulations, reflecting awareness of regulatory environments.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact details, which are best practices for transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts and APIs is extensive but appears managed and up-to-date. Recommendations include publishing security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance contact information availability with verified company phone numbers and emails.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses modern JavaScript libraries and APIs for commerce and search functionalities. Performance optimizations include image preloading, responsive images, and deferred script loading. Accessibility features and SEO optimizations are present, including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses OneTrust for cookie consent management and Adobe Analytics for user behavior tracking. The technical infrastructure supports a fast, responsive, and user-friendly experience. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but likely enterprise-grade given the CMS and integrations. Opportunities exist to improve transparency around hosting and security operations.
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.
