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

Pattex.dk is the Danish website for the Pattex brand, a part of Henkel, specializing in adhesives and DIY solutions. The site provides product information, news, and strong solutions targeting the Danish market. The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager and uses modern technologies including Adobe Analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, with good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security headers and a published security policy are absent. WHOIS data is missing, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but the brand association with Henkel supports legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy with room for improvement in transparency and security disclosures.

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. 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

The Pattex brand operates under Henkel, a large enterprise in manufacturing adhesives and related products. The website targets DIY consumers and professionals in Denmark, providing product catalogs and project-based navigation. The business model focuses on product sales supported by informational content. The site is part of a broad international network with multiple country-specific domains. The use of Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Analytics suggests significant investment in digital marketing and customer insights. The absence of direct contact information on the homepage may indicate a focus on brand and product information rather than direct sales or support via the website. The cookie consent and GDPR compliance mechanisms reflect adherence to European data protection regulations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism, which are positive security practices. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information. The lack of WHOIS data transparency is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy, providing incident response contacts, and implementing additional security headers to enhance protection and trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good foundational practices but lacking in transparency and advanced security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  4. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Adobe Experience Manager CMS, Adobe Analytics for tracking, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries and OpenTelemetry for performance monitoring. The site is optimized for fast loading and mobile responsiveness with good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site uses a consistent branding style with custom fonts and color schemes. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, supporting a professional user experience.
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.
