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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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

Whirlpool UAE targets consumers in the UAE seeking reliable home appliances, leveraging the global brand's reputation. The business model centers on retail and e-commerce sales supported by customer service and product registration. The company benefits from a consistent branding strategy and a comprehensive digital marketing ecosystem including analytics and consent management. The presence of detailed privacy and cookie policies aligns with regulatory compliance, enhancing customer trust. The website's integration with partner services like ChannelAdvisor indicates a robust supply chain and sales channel management. Growth indicators include active user interaction tracking and engagement features such as reviews and product comparisons.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. Use of OneTrust for cookie consent and New Relic for monitoring reflects adherence to privacy and performance best practices. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and enhancing accessibility features to further strengthen security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, including Google Tag Manager for analytics and event tracking, OneTrust for cookie consent management, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The CSS framework Foundation is used for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization. Fonts are served via Adobe Typekit, enhancing branding consistency. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts to optimize performance. While no CMS is explicitly detected, the site structure and asset bundling suggest a custom or enterprise-grade platform. Hosting details are not explicit but the use of CDN services for scripts indicates a distributed hosting approach. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimizations.
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.
