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

Hammerite Nederland is a medium-sized manufacturing and retail company specializing in metal protection coatings and paints, operating primarily in the Netherlands. The website serves as a product showcase and e-commerce platform, supported by WooCommerce and WordPress, with a focus on consumer and professional markets seeking metal protection solutions. The site is branded under the parent company AkzoNobel, indicating a strong market position in the coatings industry. Technically, the website employs common web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and OneTrust for cookie consent, but suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, impacting security and user trust. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS and security headers, although privacy compliance is supported by clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent improvements in security infrastructure to protect user data and enhance credibility.

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

      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

    • 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

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

Hammerite Nederland leverages its parent company AkzoNobel's brand strength to maintain a solid position in the metal coatings market. The business model combines product manufacturing with retail sales supported by an online presence that includes product finders and customer support content. The target audience includes both consumers and professionals needing metal protection solutions. The website's integration with WooCommerce indicates direct sales capabilities, while the presence of detailed product categories and tutorials suggests a focus on customer education and engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes AkzoNobel and various third-party service providers for analytics and cookie management. Growth indicators include active marketing via Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, and a comprehensive privacy framework aligned with GDPR. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced security measures to maintain competitive advantage and customer trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the Hammerite website is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. The lack of security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options further weakens the site's defense against common web attacks. Although no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, the missing HTTPS and security headers represent significant compliance gaps, especially under GDPR and NIS2 regulations. Incident response readiness and security policy documentation are not evident on the site, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. The use of privacy-compliant cookie consent mechanisms and a detailed privacy policy are positive indicators, but overall security culture and posture require substantial improvement to mitigate risks and protect user data effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Configure and enforce security headers including HSTS with preload, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and update all third-party libraries and plugins to the latest secure versions.
  4. Develop and publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  5. Enhance website performance optimization to reduce load times and improve user experience, particularly on mobile devices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, utilizing standard web technologies such as jQuery and various analytics and marketing scripts including Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. Hosting is provided via Amazon AWS infrastructure, as indicated by the IP address. The site employs Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and OneTrust for cookie consent management, reflecting a mature approach to privacy compliance. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols severely impact security and user trust. Performance metrics indicate slow load times and a large page size, suggesting opportunities for optimization. Accessibility features are basic, and while SEO is well implemented, technical debt is evident in outdated security configurations and missing best practices. Modernization efforts should focus on security hardening, performance improvements, and enhanced accessibility.
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.
