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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention pattex.ch, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for pattex.ch right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Henkel's Pattex brand targets both consumers and professionals in manufacturing and construction sectors, leveraging a global brand reputation. The website supports multiple languages and regions, indicating a broad market reach. The business model focuses on manufacturing and marketing adhesive products, supported by a strong parent company. The digital presence is consistent and professionally maintained, with integration of analytics and compliance tools. No direct contact information or detailed business policies are present on the main page, suggesting these may be located elsewhere or handled via corporate channels. The site’s external links to multiple country-specific domains reflect a well-structured international brand strategy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable analytics and consent management services, indicating a good baseline security posture. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided content, which is an area for improvement. There is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are recommended for enterprise-grade websites. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The cookie consent banner complies with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be strengthened with additional transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from all pages.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Include explicit contact information for data protection officer and incident response contacts.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Adobe Experience Manager as CMS, with Adobe Helix RUM for performance monitoring, Google Tag Manager, Adobe Analytics, and Google Analytics for tracking. Consent management is handled by OneTrust, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is well-structured with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is optimized with preconnect hints and deferred script loading. SEO is basic with canonical tags and hreflang for multilingual support. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found but likely correspond to Henkel's enterprise infrastructure.
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.
