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

Kibion GmbH is a specialized healthcare company focused on providing rapid and reliable urea breath test solutions for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori infections, a key factor in stomach ulcers. The company positions itself as a global leader in this niche diagnostic market, supported by its ISO 13485 certification and affiliation with the parent company Mayoly Spindler. The website targets healthcare professionals and distributors, offering product information, scientific publications, and support resources. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing medical diagnostic devices, with a clear emphasis on quality and regulatory compliance. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including RequireJS, jQuery, and Modernizr, enhanced by SEO and multilingual plugins. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and user experience, though performance is moderate. SEO practices are well implemented, but accessibility features are basic. The site uses Google Analytics for user tracking but lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies, indicating gaps in privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site does not show evidence of advanced security headers or explicit HTTPS enforcement in the provided data, which could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent, which may impact trust and compliance. Overall, Kibion's website reflects a professional and credible healthcare business with solid market positioning but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trustworthiness and regulatory adherence.

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

11 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"

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 · 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

Kibion operates in the specialized healthcare diagnostics sector, focusing on urea breath tests for Helicobacter pylori detection. Its competitive advantage lies in its global leadership and ISO 13485 certification, ensuring high-quality medical device standards. The business model is product-centric, targeting healthcare professionals and distributors worldwide. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales and support services. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem, notably with parent company Mayoly Spindler, enhancing market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include active participation in congresses and exhibitions and a multilingual website presence. Strategic observations suggest a focus on maintaining regulatory compliance and expanding scientific engagement to sustain market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with no visible critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. The lack of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicates potential gaps in security governance and readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms, which could expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR. The use of Google Analytics without visible privacy controls further impacts compliance. Overall, the security culture appears functional but would benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide and verify SSL/TLS configuration for best practices.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a combination of RequireJS, jQuery, Modernizr, and several WordPress plugins including Yoast SEO and WPML for multilingual support. The technical infrastructure supports moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security configurations. The site does not show evidence of advanced hosting or CDN services, and no explicit hosting provider information is available. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in security and privacy implementations to reduce business risks.
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.
