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

      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

      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 Romania is positioned as a large enterprise within the manufacturing and retail sectors, leveraging the global Henkel brand. The business model focuses on product manufacturing and distribution across consumer and industrial markets. The website supports this with detailed brand and product information, sustainability reporting, and career opportunities, indicating a comprehensive ecosystem. The presence of multiple localized Henkel domains and partner sites suggests a well-integrated global partnership network. The company targets a broad audience including consumers, industrial clients, and potential employees. The digital presence supports brand consistency and market leadership, with strategic emphasis on sustainability and innovation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy implemented. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent and Webtrekk for analytics indicates adherence to privacy and data protection standards. No exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of some recommended security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection suggests room for improvement. No public incident response or security policy pages were found, which could enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good, supporting business continuity and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user confidence.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and tracking for improved privacy compliance.
  5. Consider DNSSEC implementation to improve domain name system security and integrity.

The technical stack reflects a well-maintained enterprise-grade infrastructure with opportunities for further modernization and security hardening.
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.
