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

Werther’s Original España is a regional brand website operated under the parent company Storck, focusing on marketing and presenting their caramel confectionery products to the Spanish market. The site offers product information, brand history, and recipe ideas, targeting general consumers interested in quality caramel sweets. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and includes internationalization support via hreflang tags for multiple countries. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent banner and a comprehensive privacy policy. However, direct contact information and explicit security policies are not published, which could be improved. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to query restrictions, but the domain and website content align with the brand's legitimacy. Overall, the site demonstrates good technical maturity and business credibility with moderate security posture.

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

5 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. 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"

  3. 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

The website represents a large retail confectionery brand with a strong market position under Storck. It leverages a multi-country domain strategy and consistent branding to maintain consumer trust. The business model centers on brand marketing and product promotion rather than direct e-commerce. The presence of multiple sister domains indicates a global footprint. The lack of direct contact details on the site suggests a focus on brand awareness rather than direct customer service via the website. The partnership ecosystem includes the parent company Storck and related brand domains. Growth indicators include active content updates and recipe engagement. Strategic observations include potential to enhance customer engagement by adding contact channels and security transparency.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no published security policy or incident response contacts were found. The use of Piwik PRO Tag Manager shows controlled analytics tracking with user consent. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is a gap in security maturity. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding verified contact information such as support emails or phone numbers to facilitate customer and security communications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, RequireJS, and Slick Carousel for interactive UI elements. The presence of Piwik PRO Tag Manager indicates advanced analytics capabilities with user consent management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and layout. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, but the lack of visible security headers and limited contact information represent technical risks that could impact user trust and security posture.
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.
