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

2 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.

    • 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

  2. 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 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.

Business context

Business profile

Baxter operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on acute, nutritional, renal, hospital, and surgical care products. The business model centers on providing medical devices and clinical nutrition solutions to hospitals, healthcare professionals, and patients. The website's content and external links indicate strong partnerships and a global footprint. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools for engagement and compliance. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication strategy, likely routed through contact forms and partner portals. The company’s market position is reinforced by its long heritage and comprehensive product portfolio, targeting a broad healthcare audience including patients and professionals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, reflecting compliance with privacy laws such as GDPR. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected in the HTML source, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no publicly available vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were observed. The use of trusted third-party services like Google Tag Manager and Brightcove is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security email address, to improve readiness and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and continue to optimize mobile experience to maintain high usability standards.

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely used CMS, indicating a robust content management infrastructure. It uses VideoJS and Brightcove for video streaming, ensuring rich multimedia content delivery. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, integrated with a cookie consent mechanism from CookieLaw.org, showing compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance appears fast with preloading of fonts and efficient resource loading. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and incident response transparency to 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.
