Risk levelLow

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

Henkel Adhesive Technologies operates as a global leader in the manufacturing and supply of adhesive products and solutions. The website serves as a global entry point for users to select their regional site and language preferences. The company targets industrial and commercial customers requiring advanced adhesive technologies. The digital infrastructure is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, with integration of cookie consent management via OneTrust and performance tracking through LiveUX. While the site demonstrates basic compliance with GDPR through cookie consent mechanisms, explicit privacy policies and terms of service are not readily found in the provided content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied and some best practices observed, but lacks visible security headers and detailed security policies. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the branding and content suggest a legitimate corporate entity. Overall, the website is functional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

Henkel maintains a strong market position as a global enterprise in the manufacturing sector, specializing in adhesives and sealants. The business model is primarily B2B, serving industrial clients worldwide. The website acts as a gateway to localized content, supporting multiple languages and regions. The company leverages modern CMS technology and consent management tools to support compliance and user experience. However, the lack of visible contact information and corporate disclosures on the landing page limits direct engagement and transparency. The company likely has a broad partnership ecosystem and subsidiary structure, though these are not detailed on the site. The digital presence is consistent with a large enterprise but could improve in content richness and user engagement features.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided content. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found. The use of third-party scripts like OneTrust and LiveUX introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration details is a notable gap in trust verification. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from enhanced header implementation, published security policies, and transparent incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the global entry page.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve security posture.
  3. Publish contact information including corporate emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses to enhance trust and compliance.
  4. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, utilizing client libraries for CSS and JavaScript. It integrates OneTrust for cookie consent management and LiveUX for performance analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with canonical tags and meta viewport settings. External dependencies include CDN-hosted scripts and fonts. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading. The technical infrastructure is modern but could be enhanced with improved security headers and richer metadata for SEO and 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.
