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

Knoppers is a confectionery brand website focused on promoting its wafer and bar products in Poland. The site is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS and provides detailed product categories and promotional content. It is part of the Storck group, a well-known confectionery company, which enhances its market credibility. The website targets general consumers interested in confectionery snacks and offers a clean, navigable user experience with mobile optimization and structured data for SEO. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including TYPO3 CMS, RequireJS, and Piwik analytics. It uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, though lacks explicit security headers. The site includes cookie consent mechanisms and a privacy policy indicating GDPR compliance. However, no direct contact emails or phone numbers are published, and no explicit security or incident response policies are found. Security posture is moderate with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but improvements could be made by adding security headers and incident response contacts. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to registry restrictions, which is common for .pl domains, but the website's professional presentation and linkage to the parent company Storck support its legitimacy. Overall, the website is a credible, well-maintained brand site with good content quality and privacy compliance, suitable for consumer engagement. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and providing clearer contact information for improved trust and 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.

Priority findings

5 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

  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

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

  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

Knoppers operates as a product brand under the Storck umbrella, focusing on confectionery wafers and bars. The business model centers on brand marketing and consumer engagement through product information and promotions. The website serves the Polish market with localized content and links to sister brand sites in other countries. The company leverages its parent company's reputation and a network of related brands to strengthen market presence. The absence of direct sales or e-commerce on this site suggests a focus on brand awareness rather than direct transactions. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple Storck brands, indicating a cohesive marketing strategy. Growth indicators include multilingual support and active content updates. The website's technical maturity and GDPR compliance reflect a medium-sized enterprise with professional digital operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced with excellent SSL configuration, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented to comply with privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness indicators. The use of third-party scripts like Piwik analytics is noted, but no vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers may reduce attack surface but also limits user trust. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information availability with verified company emails and phone numbers for better user support and trust.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user awareness.

Notes

Piwik analytics is employed for visitor tracking, indicating a preference for privacy-focused analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and image carousels that may impact load times but improve engagement. No hosting provider details were found in the content. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features but meets basic standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, with opportunities for performance optimization 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.
