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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Baxter's market positioning as a healthcare leader is reinforced by its long history and recent acquisitions such as Hillrom. The business model focuses on providing innovative medical products and services to hospitals, patients, and healthcare professionals. The website's content and structure emphasize corporate governance, social responsibility, and inclusion, which are key trust and growth indicators. The partnership ecosystem includes Vantive and Hillrom, enhancing Baxter's service offerings. The company targets a broad healthcare audience with a strong emphasis on patient care and professional healthcare support. The digital presence supports marketing and investor relations through integrated external links and social media channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, there is no explicit security policy or incident response contact information published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Brightcove is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security risks. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information by including verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, and uses VideoJS and Brightcove for video content delivery. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking, alongside cookie consent scripts from CookieLaw.org, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content. No hosting provider details were found in the HTML. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for an enterprise healthcare 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.
