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

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 Polska is positioned as an essential manufacturing entity within the Henkel global group, focusing on adhesives and consumer brands. The business model revolves around product innovation, sustainability, and market leadership in Poland. The website highlights strategic initiatives such as sustainability reports and R&D centers, indicating investment in innovation and corporate responsibility. The presence of multiple language versions and regional sites suggests a broad international footprint. Marketing and analytics tools are well integrated, supporting data-driven decision-making. The company targets a wide audience including industrial clients and end consumers, leveraging a strong brand and digital ecosystem. Partnerships and tracking domains indicate a mature marketing and analytics infrastructure.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content-Security-Policy header implemented. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, reflecting GDPR compliance. No security blocking or WAF challenges were detected, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the source. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information was found, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site aligns with best practices for corporate websites in security and privacy.

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 clear vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance incident response transparency by providing dedicated security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

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.
