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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

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 in Taiwan with a focus on adhesive technologies and consumer brands. The business model revolves around manufacturing and distributing high-quality products with an emphasis on sustainability and corporate responsibility. The website links to multiple regional and global Henkel domains, indicating a well-integrated partnership ecosystem. The presence of detailed corporate governance and compliance information suggests a transparent and regulated operational approach. The target audience includes industrial customers, consumers, and potential employees, supported by dedicated career and contact sections.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration and implements a Content-Security-Policy header, enhancing protection against common web attacks. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, demonstrating GDPR compliance and user privacy respect. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the site lacks explicit incident response contact information and a published vulnerability disclosure policy, which could improve security transparency. The use of multiple third-party scripts and analytics tools is well controlled but requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance security transparency.
  2. Include contact channels dedicated to security incidents such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider implementing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy tech stack including GSAP for animations, Highcharts for data visualization, and SwiperJS for interactive sliders. It is built on the Babiel CMS platform, which supports multi-language and regional content management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the site uses multiple CDN and analytics services. The site is well-structured with responsive design and comprehensive content coverage.
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.
