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

Henkel Croatia operates as a regional branch of the multinational Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, focusing on manufacturing and distributing products in industrial markets and consumer goods such as hair care, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings. The website reflects a mature corporate presence with clear branding and comprehensive content aimed at general audiences and business partners. The digital infrastructure leverages modern JavaScript libraries and a CoreMedia CMS platform, hosted by a local Croatian registrar, ensuring regional compliance and performance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and Content Security Policy headers, complemented by a robust cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust, although additional security headers could enhance protection. The absence of explicit security incident response information and direct contact emails suggests room for improvement in transparency. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with Henkel's global brand standards.

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.

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

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

    • High

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 Croatia holds a leading market position in both industrial and consumer product sectors within Croatia and the surrounding region. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing well-known consumer brands and industrial technologies, supported by a strong corporate governance framework. The website's multilingual support and extensive network of related domains indicate a broad partnership ecosystem and a strategic focus on digital transformation and sustainability. The company targets both B2B and B2C segments, leveraging its global parent company's resources and brand reputation. Growth indicators include active digitalization initiatives and sustainability reporting, positioning Henkel as a forward-looking enterprise in the manufacturing sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, a comprehensive Content Security Policy, and integration of privacy-compliant cookie consent tools. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with user consent, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the lack of additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options, and the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact, represent gaps in the security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The security posture is suitable for a corporate website but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in header configuration and incident transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities or abuse.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  5. Increase transparency by providing direct contact emails or phone numbers for corporate and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including JavaScript libraries such as GSAP, Highcharts, Isotope, and SwiperJS, managed within a CoreMedia CMS environment. Hosting is provided by a regional Croatian registrar, ensuring localized performance and compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of third-party scripts and resource loading. The technical infrastructure supports a professional corporate presence but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
