AUGUST STORCK KG · Retail · Germany

Low risk. 1 critical or high finding in SSL/TLS.

Security score

84/100

Risk levelLow

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

Storck is a well-established confectionery company presenting a professional corporate website with comprehensive information about its brands, sustainability initiatives, career opportunities, and consumer services. The website targets general consumers, potential employees, and business partners, reflecting a large enterprise operating primarily in the retail and manufacturing sectors. The digital infrastructure is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although explicit security headers are not detected in the provided data. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly that reduces domain trustworthiness, but the website content and branding strongly indicate legitimacy. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and GDPR adherence.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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 operates in the confectionery market with a broad international presence, as evidenced by multiple country-specific domains linked from the main site. The company leverages a corporate website to promote its brands such as Toffifee, merci, and Werther's Original, and to provide consumer and career information. The business model focuses on manufacturing and retail distribution of confectionery products. The website's multilingual support and structured navigation suggest a mature digital marketing strategy aimed at diverse markets. No direct contact details or incident response channels are publicly visible, which may limit direct customer engagement but aligns with a corporate communication approach. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual and warrants further investigation to confirm domain registration legitimacy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner consistent with GDPR requirements, indicating a baseline security and privacy posture. The use of Piwik PRO for analytics suggests a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No forms or inputs collecting sensitive data are evident on the main page, reducing immediate exposure risks. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and incident response transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information availability to facilitate user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as RequireJS, Lodash, jQuery, and Swiper for interactive features and media sliders. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessibility considerations. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous script loading and lazy loading of images. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not evident from the provided data. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and provide more detailed technical metadata.
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.
