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 German confectionery company operating a professional corporate website that showcases its brands, sustainability initiatives, career opportunities, and news updates. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and employs modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks, providing a responsive and accessible user experience. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which contrasts with the professional and active nature of the website. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, but the lack of security headers and explicit incident response information suggests room for improvement. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-maintained but would benefit from enhanced transparency regarding domain registration and security policies.

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 retail sector specializing in confectionery products with multiple well-known brands such as Toffifee, merci, nimm2, and Werther's Original. The business model focuses on manufacturing and marketing confectionery goods to a broad consumer base, including career seekers. The website supports international presence with multiple language and country-specific domains. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and content quality, indicating a mature market position. The absence of explicit contact details on the main page suggests a preference for directing users to specific service or career pages. The partnership ecosystem includes brand-specific microsites and promotional campaigns. The lack of WHOIS transparency is a notable anomaly that should be addressed to reinforce business credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a baseline security awareness and compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or security.txt file limits the organization's transparency and readiness for vulnerability disclosures. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good foundational practices but lacking in advanced security controls and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data absence to ensure domain registration transparency and legitimacy.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including security and data protection officer contacts.
  5. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including RequireJS, Lodash, jQuery, and LazySizes for performance and responsiveness. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and image optimization. The technical infrastructure appears stable and professional, though hosting provider details are not disclosed. There is an opportunity to enhance security through HTTP headers and to improve transparency with domain registration data. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience but could benefit from security hardening and clearer business contact channels.
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.
