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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

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

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for pattex.de 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

The website reflects a strong market position as part of Henkel, a global leader in adhesives and consumer goods. The business model focuses on manufacturing and direct product marketing to DIY consumers and professionals. The site supports brand consistency and leverages a robust technology stack for content delivery and analytics. While contact information and legal disclosures are minimal in the provided content, the presence of corporate DNS and branding suggests legitimacy. The lack of visible privacy policy and terms of service pages is a minor gap in compliance. The site integrates with multiple external domains related to Henkel's digital asset management and analytics infrastructure, indicating a well-connected partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable cookie consent platform (OneTrust), indicating compliance with GDPR and privacy best practices. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness perception. The site would benefit from publishing these documents to enhance trust and demonstrate security maturity. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with more explicit disclosures and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly linked from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and legal disclaimers to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide explicit security policy and incident response information accessible to users.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Ensure all security headers are explicitly configured and documented.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as Adobe Helix RUM and OpenTelemetry for performance monitoring. It uses OneTrust for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and integrates Adobe and Google analytics tools. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data referencing the Henkel parent organization. Hosting is managed via CSC DNS services, typical for corporate domains. Performance is fast with deferred script loading and preconnect hints. Technical risks are minimal, but the site could improve by explicitly confirming security headers and publishing security-related documentation.
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.
