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. 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 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. 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

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

Chiesi holds a strong market position as one of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies worldwide, focusing on innovative therapies in respiratory and rare diseases. Their business model includes research and development, clinical trials, manufacturing, and global commercialization. The company emphasizes sustainability and ethical practices, evidenced by B Corp certification and detailed sustainability reporting. The website supports global partnering and open innovation, indicating a collaborative growth strategy. The presence of a dedicated clinical studies domain suggests a comprehensive ecosystem supporting clinical research. The company targets healthcare professionals, patients, and partners, leveraging digital channels for communication and transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. Use of Matomo analytics suggests privacy-conscious data collection. However, the absence of visible security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern but does not directly imply malicious intent given the professional website content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing clear security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  3. Add a security.txt file or dedicated security policy page with incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing explicit contact details for data protection officer and security incidents.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Swiper.js for interactive sliders, and Matomo for analytics. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with ARIA roles and screen reader support. Cookie consent is managed by OneTrust, indicating compliance with EU cookie laws. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for security enhancements.
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.
