0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

IBSA Nordic ApS is a subsidiary of the Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company IBSA Group, founded in 1945 and headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland. The website presents a professional corporate presence targeting healthcare professionals and partners in the Nordic region, offering information about the company's pillars, sustainability efforts, and corporate documents. The company operates in over 90 countries with 20 subsidiaries, emphasizing a broad international footprint and commitment to quality and responsibility. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers are not explicitly detected and could be improved.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

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

IBSA Nordic operates as an essential entity within the healthcare sector, focusing on pharmaceutical products and sustainability. The company benefits from its parent IBSA Group's strong market position and extensive subsidiary network across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing pharmaceutical products with a strong emphasis on innovation, quality, and responsibility. The website's content and linked domains reflect a mature partnership ecosystem and a commitment to transparency and ethical practices. Growth indicators include active sustainability reporting and a whistleblowing policy, signaling robust governance. The target customer segments include healthcare professionals and institutional partners in the Nordic region. The company leverages digital tools for marketing and analytics while maintaining GDPR compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file or explicit vulnerability disclosure policy indicates a potential gap in incident response readiness. The site uses trusted third-party services like Google Analytics and Tag Manager with consent, aligning with privacy best practices. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and ensure continued GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern technology stack featuring Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user behavior tracking, coupled with OneTrust for cookie consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources efficiently and employs lazy loading for images to optimize performance. While the CMS is not explicitly identified, the structure suggests a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting details are not disclosed, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, indicating a secure hosting environment. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social media sharing and search engine visibility.
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.
