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

Ceresit.uk is a professional website representing the Ceresit brand, a part of Henkel, specializing in advanced construction materials and building solutions. The site targets construction professionals and consumers in the UK market, offering product information and support. The business operates under a large multinational parent company, Henkel, which enhances its market credibility and positioning. The website demonstrates a good level of digital maturity with modern technologies, responsive design, and SEO optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces domain registration trust but does not detract from the overall legitimacy of the business presence online. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, incident response information, and direct contact details to enhance trust and compliance.

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

3 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';…

  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

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 website reflects a large manufacturing entity operating in the construction materials sector under the Henkel brand. The business model includes B2B and B2C channels, focusing on product innovation and market leadership. The site integrates with Henkel's digital ecosystem and uses advanced analytics and consent management tools. The lack of direct contact details and WHOIS data suggests a controlled digital presence, possibly using subdomains or aliases. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and consistent branding across markets. Growth indicators include multi-language support and regional domain variants. The partnership ecosystem is centered around Henkel's global operations.

Security posture

The website employs strong security measures including HTTPS, modern security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. The WHOIS data absence is a concern for domain trustworthiness but does not indicate immediate risk. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing more explicit security governance information and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency or clarify domain usage to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager with the Heliux framework, leveraging Adobe Analytics and OneTrust for tracking and consent management. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good accessibility features. The use of modern JavaScript libraries and structured data (JSON-LD) supports SEO and user experience. No technical debt or legacy technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely managed by Henkel's infrastructure. The site demonstrates a mature technical infrastructure suitable for a large enterprise.
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.
