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

2 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. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Pattex operates as a key adhesive brand within Henkel's manufacturing sector, focusing on consumer and professional markets for DIY adhesive products. The website serves as a product and brand information portal, leveraging a global network of related country-specific domains. The business model centers on product manufacturing and distribution, supported by digital marketing and analytics tools. The absence of direct contact information on the main page suggests a focus on brand awareness rather than direct sales or support via this site. The partnership with Henkel's digital asset and datasheet domains indicates a well-integrated corporate digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure pages were found, which could enhance transparency and incident response readiness. The use of modern telemetry and analytics frameworks indicates ongoing monitoring capabilities. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are likely configured server-side but not explicitly visible in the HTML. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security policies and incident contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  4. Include visible company contact information such as phone numbers, emails, and physical addresses to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Document and display security headers and SSL configuration details to reassure users and auditors.

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging Adobe Helix RUM for real user monitoring and OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing. It uses OneTrust for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and integrates Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager. The site is hosted with assets served from Henkel's digital asset management domains, indicating a corporate-grade hosting environment. Performance is optimized with deferred script loading and preconnect hints. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with structured metadata and SEO optimizations present. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML content.
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.
