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

5 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

  3. 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

KRKA operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on generic pharmaceuticals, serving a broad audience including healthcare professionals and patients. The company benefits from a long-standing history and a wide international presence, supported by multiple country-specific websites. Its business model centers on pharmaceutical manufacturing and sales, with subsidiaries such as TAD Pharma in Germany. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact channels and social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes extranet portals and related sites like Terme Krka. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product catalog and active career opportunities. The website content and structure support the company’s market positioning as a reliable and innovative pharmaceutical provider.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which could improve transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer or security team to comply with GDPR and improve communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize security risks from external sources.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js framework, indicating a contemporary and modular front-end architecture. It leverages asynchronous JavaScript loading and preloading for performance optimization. The site is mobile-responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and adjustable font settings. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and resource optimization. The technical stack is well-suited for scalability and maintainability, though the lack of explicit security headers and limited server-side security information suggest opportunities for technical hardening.
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.
