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

Franz Kaldewei GmbH & Co. KG operates the website www.kaldewei.co.uk, offering high-quality bathroom products including bathtubs, showers, and washbasins made from steel enamel. The company targets a broad audience interested in premium bathroom solutions and provides tools such as an online bathroom planner to enhance customer engagement. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and integrates modern web technologies including TYPO3 CMS, Google Analytics, and Usercentrics for consent management. Despite the lack of WHOIS data for the exact domain due to Nominet UK naming restrictions, the website content and branding strongly align with the established company, indicating legitimacy. Security measures include HTTPS, reCAPTCHA for forms, and cookie consent mechanisms, but there is room for improvement in security headers and published policies. Overall, the site demonstrates a good balance of business presence and technical maturity with moderate privacy compliance.

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

  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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

The company is positioned as a medium-sized manufacturer and retailer in the bathroom fixtures sector, with a strong international presence indicated by multiple country-specific domains. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and direct retail of premium bathroom products, supported by digital tools like a 3D bathroom planner. The website's multilingual support and structured content suggest a well-established marketing and customer engagement strategy. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main page may indicate a preference for contact via forms or localized sites. The company benefits from trust signals such as Google and Microsoft site verifications and consistent branding across domains.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security posture. The presence of a consent management platform (Usercentrics) supports GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data absence reduces domain trustworthiness but is explained by domain naming rules. Overall, the security posture is moderate with clear areas for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Establish and publicize a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical foundation. The use of modern JavaScript libraries, Google reCAPTCHA, and Usercentrics for consent management reflects adherence to current web standards and privacy regulations. Performance appears moderate with optimized images served via a CDN. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements present. SEO is supported by meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and canonical links. However, the lack of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that could impact trust and security posture. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security hardening and enhanced policy transparency.
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.
