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

Krka Azerbaijan is a regional website representing Krka, a leading generic pharmaceutical company with approximately 70 years of experience. The company specializes in the development, manufacturing, and sales of prescription, over-the-counter, and veterinary pharmaceutical products. The website targets healthcare professionals and general consumers in Azerbaijan and provides comprehensive information about the company, its products, career opportunities, and sustainability initiatives. The site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and includes multiple language and country-specific links reflecting a global presence. Technically, the website is built on the Nuxt.js framework, leveraging modern JavaScript technologies and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site demonstrates good performance, accessibility, and SEO optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, some security headers are missing, and there is no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the website is trustworthy and credible, supported by consistent WHOIS data that aligns with the company's identity and history. Privacy and cookie policies are present and reasonably comprehensive, indicating a commitment to GDPR compliance. Contact information is available, though no direct company emails are listed. Social media presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube enhances brand visibility. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, adding incident response contacts, and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to further strengthen security and compliance posture.

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

6 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • 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

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 holds a strong market position as a leading generic pharmaceutical manufacturer with a broad international footprint, evidenced by numerous country-specific domains. The business model focuses on pharmaceutical product development and sales across prescription, OTC, and veterinary segments. The company emphasizes sustainability, quality, and employee development, which are highlighted on the website. The target customer segments include healthcare professionals and consumers seeking high-quality generic medicines. The partnership ecosystem includes related sites such as Terme Krka, indicating diversified business interests. Growth indicators include a well-maintained digital presence and active social media engagement. The company operates as a large enterprise with a well-established brand and consistent messaging across markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager includes doNotTrack detection, respecting user privacy preferences. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file found, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and explicit policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear incident response and abuse contact information on the website to facilitate security issue reporting.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to include explicit user consent and compliance with GDPR requirements.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Nuxt.js framework, a modern Vue.js-based technology, indicating a contemporary technical infrastructure. It uses asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of critical assets to optimize performance. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features such as font size adjustment and high contrast themes. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom or framework-based implementation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Performance is moderate with good SEO and metadata usage. Opportunities exist to improve technical security configurations and enhance privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
