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

Weleda AG operates as a well-established international brand specializing in natural cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. The website www.weleda.at serves the Austrian market with a comprehensive e-commerce platform offering a wide range of natural skincare, health, and wellness products. The company emphasizes holistic beauty and health, targeting consumers interested in natural and sustainable personal care. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and high-quality content. Technically, the site is built using modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Vue.js, integrating PrimeVue components for UI. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and accessible, with good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, includes essential security headers, and uses secure forms. However, there is no public vulnerability disclosure or incident response policy visible, which could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces the trust score slightly but does not detract from the overall legitimacy indicated by the website content and certifications. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong privacy compliance and a professional digital footprint. Strategic recommendations include publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, enhancing transparency on incident response, and ensuring WHOIS data is properly registered and accessible to improve trustworthiness.

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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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

Weleda AG holds a strong market position in the natural cosmetics and pharmaceutical retail sector, leveraging a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model complemented by brand awareness and certifications such as NATRUE and ISO standards. The company targets health-conscious consumers seeking natural and sustainable products. Revenue streams likely include online sales, retail partnerships, and possibly wholesale. The website's multilingual support and regional domains indicate a broad European presence. The partnership ecosystem includes compliance and certification bodies, with digital marketing tools supporting customer engagement and data-driven insights. Growth indicators include new product campaigns and seasonal promotions visible on the homepage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file and absence of an incident response contact reduce transparency. The site uses third-party scripts such as Google Tag Manager and OneTrust, which are industry-standard but require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced public security communication and formal incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Add an incident response policy and dedicated security contact information on the website.
  3. Ensure WHOIS domain registration data is complete and publicly accessible to improve trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack (Nuxt.js and Vue.js) with PrimeVue UI components, enabling a responsive and performant user experience. The use of Google Tag Manager and OneTrust indicates integration of analytics and privacy management tools. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and accessibility considerations. Performance appears optimized with responsive images and preloading strategies. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses CDN services for assets. Technical risks are minimal but depend on continuous maintenance of third-party scripts and compliance with security best practices.
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.
