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

3 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 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 5 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

GSK holds a strong market position as a multinational healthcare enterprise with a diversified portfolio in pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and consumer health. The Latvia site is part of its global footprint, supporting localized operations and stakeholder engagement. The company benefits from recognized certifications such as ISO 27001, reinforcing its commitment to security and compliance. Its business model leverages innovation and partnerships, with a clear focus on regulatory adherence and ethical standards. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence aimed at multiple stakeholder groups, including healthcare professionals and patients. The presence of comprehensive privacy and cookie policies indicates a proactive approach to data protection and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance readiness. The absence of explicit incident response contact details and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement in transparency and responsiveness. The use of modern frameworks and controlled third-party scripts reduces the attack surface. Overall, the security maturity supports business continuity and stakeholder trust, though enhancements in incident response communication are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure policies and contacts.
  3. Conduct regular third-party script audits to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Enhance user awareness of privacy practices through clearer cookie consent options and data retention disclosures.
  5. Maintain ongoing security training and awareness programs to strengthen organizational security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js with Nuxt.js) enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. The use of custom fonts, responsive design, and accessibility features indicates a well-architected front-end. Security headers and HTTPS configuration are properly implemented, contributing to a secure browsing experience. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Tealium are integrated with privacy considerations. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with comprehensive metadata and Open Graph tags. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the performance and uptime suggest a reliable infrastructure. Opportunities exist to further enhance incident response visibility and vulnerability management.
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.
