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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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 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

CPHI operates within the healthcare sector, focusing on pharmaceutical events and digital marketing. Its market position is strong, supported by Informa PLC's global reach and reputation. The company leverages a multi-channel approach combining physical events and digital platforms to engage over 470,000 pharma professionals globally. Revenue streams likely include event participation fees, digital advertising, and content subscriptions. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as cphi-online.com and pharmapackeurope.com, enhancing its service offerings. Growth indicators include a large and active audience, extensive event calendar, and continuous digital engagement. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining data privacy, enhancing security transparency, and expanding digital product offerings to sustain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and use of CAPTCHA to protect forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit data protection officer contact details are missing. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices to build further trust with users.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear contact information for data protection officer or security incident response team.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, ensuring scalability and content management efficiency. The tech stack includes widely used analytics and marketing tools, supporting data-driven decision making. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading times and resource management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design but could improve accessibility compliance. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but should prioritize continuous modernization and security hardening.
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.
