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

Pattex is a brand under the global company Henkel, specializing in adhesives for DIY and professional applications. The website serves the Polish market, providing product information, updates, and support resources. It is well-branded and professionally designed, reflecting the enterprise nature of its parent company. The digital infrastructure leverages Adobe Experience Manager and integrates modern analytics and consent management tools, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. The absence of WHOIS data is typical for .pl domains and does not detract from the site's legitimacy given the strong brand association. Overall, the site is trustworthy, compliant with GDPR, and technically sound.

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

5 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

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.pl, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for pattex.pl 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 positions Pattex as a key adhesive brand within Henkel's portfolio, targeting DIY consumers and professionals in Poland. The business model focuses on product sales and brand engagement through digital channels. The presence of multiple international related domains suggests a broad regional strategy. The site uses advanced web technologies and analytics to optimize user experience and marketing effectiveness. While direct contact details are limited to forms, the site maintains compliance with privacy regulations and provides comprehensive cookie management. The lack of explicit security and incident response information is a minor gap in an otherwise professional setup.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, ensuring GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. The site would benefit from publishing these to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as abuse@ or security@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Consider publishing data protection officer contact details to improve GDPR transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, using a custom Helix framework with modern JavaScript and CSS. It integrates OpenTelemetry for observability, Google Tag Manager, and Adobe Analytics for tracking. Performance is optimized with preconnect hints and deferred script loading. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta descriptions, and structured data in JSON-LD format. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Hosting details are not explicit but likely enterprise-grade given the platform. Overall, the technical implementation is robust and modern.
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.
