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

Storck UK Limited operates a corporate website focused on its confectionery business in the United Kingdom. The site provides detailed brand information, career opportunities, and consumer services, positioning Storck as a reputable confectionery manufacturer and retailer. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with a modern JavaScript stack and includes multimedia content such as videos and image sliders. Privacy and cookie policies are clearly presented with consent mechanisms, reflecting good compliance with GDPR standards. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, though some security headers and incident response disclosures could be improved. The domain www.storck.co.uk itself is not registered according to WHOIS data, indicating the site may be served on a different domain or subdomain, which slightly impacts domain trustworthiness but does not detract from the professional presentation and legitimacy of the content.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 8 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

Storck UK Limited is part of the larger August Storck KG group, operating in the retail and manufacturing sectors specializing in confectionery products. The website highlights multiple well-known brands such as Werther's Original, Toffifee, Bendicks, and others, indicating a diversified product portfolio. The business model focuses on brand marketing, consumer engagement, and recruitment. External links to brand-specific domains suggest a networked digital presence. The site targets UK consumers and potential employees, supporting growth and brand loyalty. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication approach via service pages.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, demonstrating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The use of modern JavaScript libraries and TYPO3 CMS indicates a maintained technical environment. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security maturity and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS as its content management system, supported by a modern JavaScript stack including RequireJS, Lodash, and jQuery. The site loads asynchronously and includes multimedia content such as videos and image sliders, indicating a rich user experience. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site uses external static content delivery from storck.com domains. There is an opportunity to improve technical SEO and accessibility further.
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.
