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

Infant Bacterial Therapeutics AB (IBT) is a specialized biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines targeting diseases in premature infants and those caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The company emphasizes regulatory compliance with agencies such as the FDA and EMA and conducts clinical studies like 'The Connection Study' to validate its New Biological Entities. The website targets healthcare professionals, investors, and families, providing detailed press releases, investor relations content, and scientific pipeline information. The business operates primarily in Sweden and maintains a small company profile with a clear niche in neonatal healthcare. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and MFN WP Plugin for subscription management. The site uses jQuery 1.9.1 and loads resources from trusted external domains. Performance and mobile optimization are moderate to good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO is implemented at a basic level with meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks several important security headers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The use of an outdated jQuery version presents a moderate risk. Privacy compliance is partially met with published privacy and cookie policies, but no active cookie consent mechanism is implemented. Contact information is limited to an email address and contact forms, with no phone numbers or physical addresses disclosed. Overall, IBT's website demonstrates a professional and trustworthy online presence with room for improvement in security headers, privacy consent mechanisms, and updating third-party libraries. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. The site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, enabling full content analysis.

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

8 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  4. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

IBT occupies a specialized niche in the healthcare sector, focusing on neonatal diseases and antibiotic resistance. Its business model centers on pharmaceutical development, clinical trials, and regulatory approvals, targeting healthcare providers and investors. The company maintains active investor relations and media communications, indicating a growth-oriented approach. The website content reflects a consistent branding strategy and trust signals such as regulatory study references and detailed press releases. The absence of phone contact and physical address may limit direct customer engagement but aligns with a primarily B2B and investor-focused model. The use of third-party subscription services suggests a modern approach to stakeholder engagement. Overall, IBT appears to be a credible small-sized healthcare company with a clear market position and specialized offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. The use of an outdated jQuery library version (1.9.1) is a notable vulnerability that could be exploited if not updated. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which may impact compliance and readiness. Privacy policies are present and GDPR compliance is indicated, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. The site uses secure contact forms but could improve by publishing vulnerability disclosure information and security.txt files. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements to headers, library updates, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add an explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and MFN WP Plugin. It relies on jQuery 1.9.1, which is outdated and should be updated to reduce security risks. The site loads external resources from trusted domains like ajax.googleapis.com and widget.datablocks.se. Performance is moderate with basic SEO and accessibility features implemented. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. The site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration but lacks several security headers. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
