Clariant Ltd. · Energy · Switzerland

Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

56/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Clariant Ltd. is a leading global specialty chemicals company focused on delivering innovative and sustainable chemical solutions across multiple industries including energy, manufacturing, and plastics. The website reflects a mature enterprise with comprehensive content, strong branding, and a clear business model targeting industrial customers, investors, and job seekers. Technically, the site is built on a modern CMS platform (Sitecore) and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, demonstrating a high level of digital maturity. However, the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent a critical security weakness that undermines user trust and data protection. While security headers and privacy policies are well implemented, the lack of HTTPS significantly lowers the overall security posture. Strategic improvements in SSL deployment and enhanced incident response documentation would strengthen the site’s security and compliance standing.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Clariant operates in the specialty chemicals sector with a focus on sustainable solutions and innovation. The company maintains a strong market position as a global enterprise with a diversified portfolio serving various industries. The website supports multiple languages and regions, indicating a broad international presence. The business model is B2B with emphasis on product solutions, sustainability, and investor relations. The site’s integration with marketing platforms like HubSpot and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Hotjar suggests a data-driven approach to customer engagement and market intelligence. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, favoring contact forms and overlays for communication, which aligns with enterprise practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates good security practices through the use of multiple security headers including Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection. Cookies are set with Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite attributes, enhancing session security. However, the critical absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support severely compromise the security posture, exposing users to potential interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are publicly available, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS to meet enterprise standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Deploy and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure all communications.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols and disable legacy insecure protocols.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Microsoft IIS 10.0 and uses Sitecore CMS, indicating a robust enterprise-grade infrastructure. The tech stack includes JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is well structured with SEO-friendly meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards for social sharing. Performance metrics are not provided, but the site includes responsive design elements and preloads critical CSS for faster rendering. The absence of SSL/TLS is a major technical risk. The DNS configuration is professional with no DNSSEC or CAA records, but no subdomain takeover vulnerabilities were detected. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but requires security enhancements.
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.
