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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention fritz-henkel.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for fritz-henkel.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is a well-established German family company operating in manufacturing and brand management. This microsite serves as a brand heritage platform rather than a commercial storefront, emphasizing the company's long history and values. The business model focuses on product innovation and corporate responsibility. The site links to the main corporate domain www.henkel.com and provides official contact email info@henkel.com. The absence of phone numbers and detailed business certifications on this microsite is consistent with its purpose as a historical and branding resource. The company maintains a strong market position with consistent branding and professional content quality.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses a clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized transfers. Cookie consent is managed through OneTrust, providing GDPR-compliant mechanisms. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected in the HTML, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Incident response and security policies are not published on the site, which is typical for a microsite but could be improved for transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and explicitly declare Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to mitigate XSS and clickjacking risks.
  3. Publish a security or incident response policy page to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookie consent configurations for compliance and security.
  5. Consider adding direct phone contact information or a contact form for improved user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built using Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, indicating a modern JavaScript single-page application approach with server-side rendering. It uses lazy loading for images and custom fonts for branding consistency. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO meta tags including Open Graph tags for social sharing. Hosting and DNS are managed via CSC Corporate Domains, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with multiple preloaded scripts and stylesheets, which could be optimized further. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with room for performance tuning.
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.
