AbbVie · Healthcare · Poland

Medium risk. 5 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 1 other check.

Security score

70/100

Risk levelMedium

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

AbbVie is a global bio-pharmaceutical company with a strong presence in Poland, focusing on advanced drug research, development, and patient therapies. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting patients, healthcare professionals, and researchers. Technically, the site uses Adobe Experience Manager CMS and integrates Brightcove for video content, alongside multiple third-party analytics and advertising services. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. No contact or incident response information is readily available, which could impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the site is well-structured and content-rich, but improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency are recommended.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

AbbVie operates in the healthcare sector with a business model centered on pharmaceutical innovation and patient care. The company has a significant market position with operations in 175 countries and over 10 years in Poland. The website highlights key services such as clinical trials and drug development. The presence of multiple analytics and advertising tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the absence of direct contact details and privacy policies suggests areas for operational enhancement. The company’s branding and content quality support a high level of professionalism and trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates standard analytics and advertising scripts securely. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are best practices for web security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency. The absence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and designate a Data Protection Officer contact.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging Brightcove for video content delivery and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is modern and supports a professional digital presence. However, the lack of visible security headers and privacy compliance features indicates technical debt in security and regulatory adherence. Addressing these gaps will improve the overall technical maturity and reduce risk.
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.
