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

hansgrohe.com is the official website of hansgrohe International, a premium manufacturer of bathroom and kitchen fixtures with a rich history dating back to 1901. The website offers comprehensive product information, design inspiration, and services including a 3D bathroom design tool and a partner locator. The site targets quality-conscious consumers and specialist partners, positioning itself as a leader in innovative and sustainable bathroom solutions. Technically, the site employs a modern tech stack including SAP Hybris CMS, extensive analytics (Google Analytics, Piwik PRO, New Relic), and marketing tools with GDPR-compliant consent management. However, a critical security gap is present due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate despite HSTS headers, which undermines HTTPS security. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and professionally branded, with clear navigation and trust indicators such as awards and guarantees. Overall, the site demonstrates strong digital maturity but requires urgent remediation of its SSL configuration to ensure secure user interactions.

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

4 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 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

  3. 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';…

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 hansgrohe brand operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on premium bathroom and kitchen products. It leverages a multi-channel business model combining direct product information, partner networks, and digital tools like the 3D bathroom planner. The company benefits from a strong market position supported by over 700 design awards and a long-standing reputation. Its target customers include end consumers seeking quality and design, as well as specialist partners and retailers. The website supports business growth through rich content, downloadable brochures, and professional portals. The integration of multiple languages and regional sites indicates a global market approach. Partnerships with service providers for analytics, mapping, and brochure hosting enhance operational capabilities. The business model emphasizes innovation, sustainability, and customer experience, aligning with modern consumer expectations.

Security posture

The website implements several security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and X-Content-Type-Options, indicating attention to common web security best practices. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential interception and undermining trust. The presence of HSTS headers without proper SSL configuration is a misconfiguration that should be corrected. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The site uses secure cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR, but lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires immediate SSL remediation to reach a good security standard.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and properly enforce HSTS.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance form security with input validation and anti-CSRF protections where applicable.
  5. Continue to monitor and improve privacy compliance and user consent mechanisms.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust technical infrastructure using SAP Hybris CMS, Apache server, and modern JavaScript frameworks. It integrates advanced analytics and monitoring tools such as New Relic, Piwik PRO, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a mature digital analytics strategy. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Performance data was not available, but the use of preloading fonts and lazy loading images suggests optimization efforts. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The main technical risk is the missing SSL certificate, which impacts security and SEO rankings. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for security improvements.
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.
