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

5 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

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

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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 Italia's market positioning as a leader in manufacturing and consumer goods is supported by its extensive product portfolio and global parent company affiliation. The business model focuses on product innovation and sustainability, targeting both general consumers and industrial clients. The website's content and linked domains indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem and a commitment to compliance and transparency. Growth indicators include sustainability reporting and digital engagement through Spotlight Magazine. The company leverages multiple analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and business insights.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header. Cookie consent is managed through a reputable third-party solution (OneTrust), ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of explicit incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement. The use of multiple tracking pixels and analytics services is balanced with user consent, reflecting a privacy-aware approach. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from enhanced transparency in incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information to improve security transparency.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance user privacy by providing detailed data retention policies and cookie usage explanations.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications to strengthen trust.

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including JavaScript libraries such as GSAP, Highcharts, Isotope, and SwiperJS, supported by the CoreMedia CMS platform. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses advanced cookie consent management and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring of third-party scripts and performance optimization could further enhance user experience and security.
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.
