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

Werther's Original Poland website represents a well-established confectionery brand under the parent company Storck. The site offers product information and brand storytelling focused on caramel sweets, targeting a general audience in Poland. The business model is retail-oriented, emphasizing product promotion and brand engagement. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and good content quality, supporting a positive market position within the confectionery sector. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as RequireJS, jQuery, and Lodash. It includes responsive design elements and SEO-friendly metadata. The site performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility features. Analytics are implemented via Piwik PRO with a cookie consent mechanism ensuring GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs) and has implemented cookie consent banners. However, explicit security headers and policies are not evident, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published. WHOIS data is not publicly available, indicating privacy protection, which is reasonable for this business type but slightly reduces transparency. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with moderate security posture and good privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and accessibility could enhance the site's security and user trust further.

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

Werther's Original Poland operates as part of the larger Storck confectionery group, focusing on caramel sweets. The brand enjoys strong market recognition and maintains a portfolio of related confectionery brands linked via partner domains. The business model centers on retail product promotion and brand marketing rather than direct e-commerce. The target customers are general consumers interested in confectionery products. The website supports brand awareness and product education, contributing to sustained market presence. The partnership ecosystem includes several sister brands, enhancing cross-promotion opportunities. Growth indicators are positive given the professional digital infrastructure and multi-language support across domains.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security transparency and defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, limiting external security engagement. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing site but could be improved to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards, improving usability for all users.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update SSL/TLS configurations to maintain strong encryption and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as RequireJS for module loading, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Lodash for utility functions, and Slick Carousel for UI components. The site includes responsive design elements and SEO-optimized metadata. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and image optimization evident. However, accessibility features are basic, and no advanced performance optimization techniques (e.g., lazy loading, critical CSS) were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical stack supports a stable and maintainable platform but could benefit from modernization in accessibility and security 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.
