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

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 Portugal operates as a subsidiary of the global Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, focusing on manufacturing and distributing consumer and industrial products. The company holds a leadership position in its sectors, leveraging a broad portfolio of well-known brands. The business model targets both B2B and B2C markets, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and corporate governance. The website supports this positioning with dedicated sections on sustainability, compliance, and career opportunities, indicating a strategic focus on responsible growth and talent acquisition. The extensive network of related domains and partner sites underscores a robust partnership ecosystem. The digital presence is aligned with corporate branding and market expectations for an enterprise of this scale.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, a detailed Content Security Policy, and cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not prominently available, representing an area for improvement. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with user consent, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the security maturity is high, but the addition of formal security documentation and vulnerability disclosure policies would enhance transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security policy and incident response pages to improve transparency.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all audiences.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Continue to maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms in line with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy tech stack including GSAP for animations, Highcharts for data visualization, SwiperJS for sliders, and Mustache for templating. The CMS appears custom or CoreMedia-based, supporting a complex multi-language and multi-region setup. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Security headers like Content Security Policy are implemented, and HTTPS is enforced site-wide. The site integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, managed via a consent banner. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and suitable for an enterprise-level corporate website, with opportunities for modernization in accessibility and security documentation.
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.
