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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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';…
  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

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 GmbH holds a solid position in the German pharmaceutical market, supported by its parent company Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. The company leverages its research and development capabilities to serve niche therapeutic areas, differentiating itself through sustainability and compliance initiatives such as B Corp certification and transparent compliance pages. The business model centers on pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, targeting healthcare providers and patients. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem, including career portals and international subsidiaries, supporting growth and market penetration. Strategic focus on sustainability and ethical business practices positions Chiesi favorably in a competitive healthcare landscape.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no exposed sensitive information. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics is managed with privacy compliance in mind. However, the absence of publicly available security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the site shows good security hygiene but could strengthen its security culture by publishing more explicit policies and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with best practices and legal requirements.
  4. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with a technology stack including jQuery, bxSlider, Owl Carousel, and Modernizr, indicating a moderately modern front-end implementation. Google Tag Manager and OneTrust are integrated for analytics and cookie consent, respectively. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack further and improve accessibility compliance.
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.
