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.

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 Finland is positioned as a key regional player in the retail sector for household appliances, benefiting from the global brand recognition of Whirlpool Corporation. The business model focuses on direct consumer sales, product support, and engagement through value-added content. The company leverages a broad partnership ecosystem with multiple country-specific domains and regional sites. The website's event tracking and analytics indicate a data-driven approach to customer engagement and marketing. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers in the HTML suggests reliance on contact forms and structured customer service channels. The brand maintains consistent messaging and design across its digital assets, supporting strong market positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. Use of OneTrust for cookie consent and New Relic for monitoring indicates attention to privacy and performance. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. The site does not appear to be behind a WAF or show signs of blocking or challenge pages. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security policies and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript frameworks, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for cookie consent, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The CSS framework Foundation is used for responsive design. Fonts are loaded via Adobe Typekit. The site loads asynchronously and defers scripts for performance. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and hreflang links for multiple country domains. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and has basic accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid and supports a professional user experience.
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.
