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

The website www.pattex.se serves as the Swedish localized portal for the Pattex brand, which is a part of Henkel, a large multinational manufacturing company. The site focuses on providing adhesive products, DIY solutions, product information, and news to a general audience interested in home improvement and construction. The brand association with Henkel lends strong market credibility and positions the site as a trusted source for adhesive products in Sweden. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) CMS and leverages modern JavaScript frameworks and telemetry tools such as OpenTelemetry and Adobe Analytics. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility features, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating compliance with GDPR and privacy regulations. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes tracking and telemetry scripts but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS data for the exact domain www.pattex.se suggests it is a subdomain or alias, which is consistent with corporate web infrastructure. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the website presents a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious front for the Pattex brand in Sweden, though improvements could be made by publishing explicit privacy policies, security policies, and contact information for incident response.

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

Pattex.se operates as a regional brand website under Henkel, targeting consumers and professionals interested in adhesives and DIY projects. The business model is product-focused with an emphasis on information dissemination and customer engagement. The site supports Henkel's market presence in Sweden and aligns with its global branding strategy. The use of Adobe AEM and integration with Henkel's digital asset and data management systems indicates a well-integrated digital ecosystem. The absence of direct contact details or transactional features suggests the site is primarily informational rather than e-commerce focused. The partnership ecosystem includes Henkel's internal domains and trusted third-party services for analytics and consent management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable analytics and telemetry tools. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which limits transparency for security researchers. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and GDPR compliant. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy information are absent, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy page accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and serve standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and incident response procedures.
  4. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Include business contact details such as phone numbers and emails to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), a robust enterprise CMS, and uses modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks including OpenTelemetry for performance monitoring and Adobe Analytics for user behavior tracking. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags, canonical URLs, and alternate language links for internationalization. Performance appears optimized with deferred script loading and preconnect hints. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes are present. The cookie consent is managed by OneTrust, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. No hosting provider details were explicitly found, but the use of Henkel's digital asset domains suggests corporate hosting infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and professional.
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.
