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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

ABENA operates in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors, targeting healthcare providers, industrial clients, and retail customers. Its business model combines manufacturing with wholesale distribution, supported by a global network of subsidiaries and distributors. The company emphasizes sustainability, as evidenced by certifications like ISCC PLUS and public commitments to environmental goals. The website's content and structure suggest a mature organization with a focus on customer education and engagement through a knowledge center and case stories. The integration of multiple languages and country-specific options indicates a global market approach. Partnerships with third-party service providers for analytics and consent management enhance operational efficiency. The lack of visible parent or subsidiary domains suggests ABENA operates as a standalone entity or with discreet subsidiaries. Growth indicators include recent news about warehouse expansion and sustainability achievements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of reputable cloud hosting (Microsoft Azure) and CDN services (Cloudflare). Cookie consent is managed via a professional third-party solution, ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the site is secure for users and compliant with privacy regulations but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to ensure consistency and trustworthiness.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to maintain GDPR compliance.

Notes

The website is built on Dynamicweb CMS version 8, hosted on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, and uses Cloudflare for CDN and security services. It employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery Easing and integrates Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. The cookie consent banner is comprehensive and user-friendly. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. The technical stack supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for a large international company.
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.
