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

Henkel is a leading enterprise operating in both industrial and consumer sectors, offering a portfolio that includes well-known hair care products, detergents, fabric softeners, adhesives, sealants, and coatings. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and comprehensive content targeting a general audience interested in Henkel's products, sustainability efforts, and career opportunities. Technically, the site employs a modern JavaScript stack with libraries such as GSAP, Highcharts, and OneTrust for cookie consent, indicating a commitment to user experience and compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and Content-Security-Policy headers present, though additional headers could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data for the exact domain suggests it is a subdomain or internally managed domain within Henkel's infrastructure, which aligns with the corporate identity but reduces domain registration transparency. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and compliant, with room for improvements in security headers and public vulnerability disclosure.

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

      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. 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 maintains a strong market position as a global manufacturer in adhesives and consumer brands, targeting both B2B and B2C segments. The website supports this with detailed sections on corporate culture, sustainability, and career opportunities, indicating a focus on brand reputation and talent acquisition. The presence of multiple regional domains suggests a broad international footprint. Marketing and analytics tools are used extensively for user engagement and tracking, balanced with GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. The business model leverages both industrial solutions and consumer products, supported by a professional digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and Content-Security-Policy headers, reducing risks of common web attacks. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the site could benefit from additional security headers such as HSTS and X-Frame-Options to further harden defenses. The lack of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact information is partially available via compliance hotline pages, but no direct security contact emails were found.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Provide explicit Data Protection Officer contact details to enhance GDPR transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency or provide domain registration details to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CoreMedia CMS platform and uses a variety of modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations, Highcharts for data visualization, and SwiperJS for responsive sliders. The presence of OneTrust scripts indicates a mature approach to privacy compliance. Performance appears moderate with deferred script loading and responsive images. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, with ARIA labels and responsive navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found, but the site uses multiple CDN and analytics services. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
