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

Hansgrohe is a premium brand specializing in bathroom and kitchen fixtures, offering high-quality faucets, showers, and related products. The website targets consumers and professionals seeking modern design and durable quality in bathroom and kitchen fittings. The company maintains a strong international presence with multiple language versions of the site. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack including SAP Hybris, Google Tag Manager, Piwik PRO, and New Relic for analytics and performance monitoring. It employs GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms and secure HTTPS connections, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, though explicit security headers could be improved. Overall, the site demonstrates good privacy compliance and business credibility, though direct contact information is not prominently displayed. The WHOIS data is restricted, typical for commercial entities protecting registrant privacy, and does not raise suspicion. Strategic recommendations include enhancing visible security policies and incident response contacts to further build trust.

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

7 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

  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"

    • 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

Hansgrohe operates in the retail sector focusing on premium bathroom and kitchen products. The business model combines e-commerce with brand marketing, targeting both end consumers and professional installers. The company leverages a broad international footprint, as evidenced by numerous localized domains. Its competitive advantage lies in product quality, design, and brand reputation. The website supports customer engagement through product showcases and dealer locators but lacks explicit direct contact details. Analytics and marketing tools indicate a data-driven approach to customer insights and retargeting. The absence of visible certifications or security policies suggests room for improvement in trust signaling. Overall, Hansgrohe appears well-positioned in its market segment with a mature digital presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses advanced analytics platforms with user consent, indicating a strong baseline security posture. Cookie consent is managed via an advanced mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, which is a potential area for enhancement. The site does not expose sensitive information or show signs of vulnerabilities. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. The WHOIS data is privacy-protected, which is common and acceptable for commercial sites. Recommendations include implementing and advertising security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing incident response contacts to improve security maturity and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  3. Provide visible incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including SAP Hybris for e-commerce, Google Tag Manager, Piwik PRO, and New Relic for analytics and performance monitoring. It loads fonts and stylesheets efficiently and supports multiple languages with hreflang tags. Cookie consent is managed with advanced JavaScript mechanisms. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. No CMS other than SAP Hybris is detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable e-commerce platform with good analytics integration.
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.
