Risk levelLow

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

Whirlpool Europe operates as the regional web presence for Whirlpool Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of home appliances. The website serves multiple European markets with localized content and provides product information, customer support, and store locator services. The site demonstrates a professional design with consistent branding and a focus on European consumers. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration, though it lacks some advanced security headers. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent mechanisms, but explicit privacy policy and terms of service documents were not detected in the provided content. No contact information or forms were found, which may impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the domain appears legitimate and consistent with a major brand, though WHOIS data is privacy protected as typical for .eu domains.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      DMARC policy is set to "none"

      What to do: Gradually move to "quarantine" then "reject" policy

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 84 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

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 Europe targets European consumers and businesses interested in home appliances, leveraging the global brand strength of Whirlpool Corporation. The business model focuses on manufacturing and retail through localized websites. The presence of multiple country-specific domains indicates a broad market reach. The website supports marketing and analytics through Google and New Relic tools, enabling data-driven insights. However, the lack of visible contact details and privacy policy may limit transparency. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and a comprehensive product portfolio, positioning it as a market leader in the manufacturing sector.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent management, reflecting awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of reputable analytics and monitoring services like New Relic indicates ongoing performance and error monitoring. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service on the website.
  2. Add explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide visible and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with asynchronous loading of tracking and analytics scripts. Technologies detected include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for cookie consent, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and deferred script loading. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly found. The site uses multiple localized domains for European markets, indicating a distributed content strategy. Technical debt appears low, but SEO and accessibility could be improved with more comprehensive metadata and ARIA attributes.
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.
