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

Knoppers is a well-established confectionery brand specializing in breakfast bars and wafers, operating under the parent company Storck. The website serves primarily as a brand marketing and product information platform targeting general consumers in Slovakia and surrounding regions. It features a modern design with good navigation and multimedia content to engage visitors. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern JavaScript libraries and Piwik analytics, indicating a moderate to advanced digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security policies and headers could be improved. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with GDPR requirements, but lacks some advanced security disclosures and terms of service documentation.

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

4 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

  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

The website positions Knoppers as a key player in the retail confectionery sector, leveraging the reputation of its parent company Storck. The business model focuses on brand awareness and product promotion rather than direct e-commerce. The presence of multiple regional domains and partner brand links suggests a broad market reach within Europe. The site targets general consumers interested in confectionery products, with clear segmentation between wafers and bars. The partnership ecosystem is strong, linking to other Storck brands, enhancing cross-brand visibility. Growth indicators include multimedia content and localized language support. The absence of direct sales or detailed corporate data suggests a marketing-centric approach rather than transactional.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, there is no visible security policy or incident response information, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The use of Piwik analytics indicates some level of user tracking, but with privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing website but could benefit from enhanced security disclosures and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Provide a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Consider adding direct contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize tracking risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise-grade websites. It uses RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading and AOS for animation effects, enhancing user experience. Piwik analytics is employed for visitor tracking, indicating a preference for privacy-focused analytics. The site includes responsive design elements and multimedia content such as videos, supporting modern user engagement. Hosting appears to be managed via Storck's static middleware CDN, ensuring reliable content delivery. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in accessibility and SEO enhancements. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected.
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.
