Medium risk. 7 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and Security headers.

Risk levelMedium

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

Smurfit Westrock is a newly formed global leader in sustainable paper and packaging solutions, created by the merger of Smurfit Kappa and WestRock. The company operates worldwide with a large workforce and extensive manufacturing footprint. The website serves as a holding landing page announcing the merger and directing visitors to the original companies' websites during integration. Technically, the site uses modern React technology and Microsoft Application Insights for analytics, but lacks visible privacy, cookie, or terms policies and does not provide contact information. Security posture is moderate with no detected WAF or blocking mechanisms, but absence of WHOIS data and security headers reduces trust. Overall, the site is professional and business-focused but could improve transparency and compliance documentation.

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

7 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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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 company is positioned as a global manufacturing leader in sustainable packaging, targeting industrial and commercial customers needing innovative packaging solutions. The merger expands market reach and product portfolio. The business model focuses on manufacturing and supplying corrugated and consumer packaging products. The website reflects a transitional state with links to legacy sites, indicating ongoing integration. The lack of direct contact info or detailed corporate disclosures on this page suggests it is not the primary customer-facing site. The partnership ecosystem includes the original Smurfit Kappa and WestRock domains. Growth indicators include scale and stock exchange listings mentioned.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS assumed but no explicit security headers detected. No forms or user inputs reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Analytics usage via Microsoft Application Insights suggests moderate user tracking without visible consent mechanisms. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. Overall, security maturity is moderate but could be improved with enhanced transparency, policy publication, and security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Ensure WHOIS data is properly published or justified if privacy protected.
  5. Improve SEO metadata and accessibility features for better user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses React framework with deferred JavaScript loading and CSS minification, indicating modern front-end practices. Microsoft Application Insights is integrated for telemetry and analytics. The site is mobile responsive with multiple image sources for different screen sizes. However, SEO optimization is minimal with meta description empty and robots set to NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW, limiting search engine visibility. No CMS or hosting provider is identified from the data. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed metrics. Accessibility is basic with skip links but no ARIA landmarks or detailed accessibility features detected.
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.
