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

Whirlpool Romania, operated by European Appliances Romania SRL, is a regional representation of the global Whirlpool brand, specializing in household appliances. The website serves as a corporate and consumer-facing platform providing product information and support for Romanian customers. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and targets general consumers in Romania. 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 a good SSL configuration, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and terms of service pages, which are areas for improvement. The security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the website is legitimate, well-maintained, and compliant with basic privacy requirements, though contact information and detailed policies are not readily visible. Strategic recommendations include improving transparency with privacy and security documentation and enhancing accessibility and contact visibility.

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

4 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • 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 Romania operates as a medium-sized entity within the manufacturing sector, focusing on household appliances. The business model revolves around product distribution and customer support within Romania. The website reflects a strong brand presence consistent with Whirlpool's global identity. The company leverages multiple tracking and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and advertising effectiveness. While the domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, this is typical for corporate domains in the region and does not raise suspicion. The absence of explicit contact details on the website may limit direct customer engagement but does not detract from the overall professional presentation. The company appears to maintain a solid market position as a trusted appliance provider in Romania.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via OneTrust. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact information limits transparency and preparedness perception. The use of multiple third-party analytics and advertising scripts increases the attack surface and requires ongoing monitoring. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add visible company contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based frontend with asynchronous loading of analytics and tracking scripts including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and New Relic RUM for performance monitoring. Cookie consent is managed by OneTrust, indicating compliance with GDPR cookie requirements. The site loads fonts and assets from a CDN, improving performance. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detectable from the HTML content. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for website and search actions. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could further enhance the technical maturity.
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.
