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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Abbott operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on research and product manufacturing for various health stages. The website targets healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public in France. The business model centers on innovation and product delivery in diagnostics and treatment areas. Abbott's global brand consistency and social media engagement reinforce its market leadership. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, likely for compliance and quality control. The company maintains comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, reflecting adherence to GDPR and regional regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent management. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could enhance transparency and trust. The use of third-party scripts like New Relic and Adobe Launch is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate healthcare site but could be strengthened with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish security.txt to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security team to improve compliance and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and consent management tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and New Relic for monitoring. Adobe Launch is employed for tag management, and TrustArc manages cookie consent, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely enterprise-grade given the CMS and monitoring tools.
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.
