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

IQVIA operates in the healthcare sector, providing essential data science and technology services to life sciences companies. Their business model is B2B, focusing on delivering analytics, consulting, and technology solutions that help clients accelerate drug development and healthcare delivery. The company holds a leading market position with a global footprint and recognized certifications such as ISO 27001. Their target customers include pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, and research organizations. The website content and structure indicate a mature organization with strong branding consistency and trust signals. Partnerships and integrations with major analytics and marketing tools support their operational ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response plan reduces transparency. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and a dedicated Data Protection Officer contact. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documents and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance performance optimization to improve load times and user experience.
  5. Increase visibility of the Data Protection Officer and compliance contacts to strengthen trust.

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Ceros SDK for interactive content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data. Performance is moderate, with opportunities for optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable digital presence suitable for an enterprise healthcare company. Continued modernization and security audits are recommended to maintain technical excellence.
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.
