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. 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

  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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Apotheka holds a strong market position in Estonia's healthcare retail sector, leveraging both online and physical presence. Its business model focuses on e-commerce sales of medicines, health supplements, and cosmetics, supported by pharmacist consultations and promotional campaigns. The presence of multiple related brands and subdomains suggests a diversified portfolio and strategic partnerships. The company targets a broad consumer base including families, individuals with health needs, and pet owners. The website's content and navigation are well-structured, supporting customer engagement and retention. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer experience and business growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliant with GDPR, and integration of security-related scripts such as Google reCAPTCHA. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program suggests areas for maturity improvement. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. The site uses modern e-commerce platform Magento, which requires ongoing patching and monitoring to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and privacy practices beyond cookie consent.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento, a widely used e-commerce platform, supplemented by React components for UI elements like carousels. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking, and Google Translate for multilingual support. Lazy loading is implemented for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with proper meta tags and structured data for SEO. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the extensive product catalog and third-party scripts. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring and updates are essential given the complexity of the platform and integrations.
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.
