Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Ipsen is a global biopharmaceutical company specializing in innovation and specialty care to improve patient outcomes worldwide. The company maintains a strong market position in healthcare with a focus on pharmaceutical research, development, and commercialization. Their website reflects a professional and enterprise-grade digital presence, supporting multiple languages and providing comprehensive information for investors, patients, and healthcare professionals. The technical infrastructure is built on WordPress with modern frameworks and performance optimizations, ensuring fast and accessible user experience across devices. Security posture is robust with HTTPS, security headers, and consent mechanisms, though there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and incident response details. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable gap but does not detract significantly from the overall credibility given the professional branding and content quality. Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around security policies and incident response, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

4 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 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

Ipsen operates in the healthcare sector as an essential entity with a global footprint, targeting healthcare professionals, investors, and patients. Their business model centers on pharmaceutical innovation and specialty care products, supported by a strong digital presence that includes investor relations, newsroom, and career portals. The company leverages partnerships and maintains multilingual sites to cater to diverse markets. The website's content quality and branding consistency indicate a mature and well-established organization. Tracking and marketing tools are used responsibly with privacy compliance in mind. The lack of WHOIS transparency is a minor concern but Ipsen's market reputation and digital professionalism mitigate this risk.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy and incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is strong but could be improved by publishing security governance documents and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses jQuery and Popper.js for frontend interactions. Performance is optimized using WP Rocket caching and lazy loading techniques. Multilingual support is enabled via WPML plugin. Analytics and marketing tools include Piwik PRO, Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight, and Google Tag Manager, integrated with user consent mechanisms. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were identified. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content.
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.
