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.

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's market positioning as a leading generic pharmaceutical company is supported by its extensive international domain network and comprehensive product offerings. The company leverages educational content and expert portals to engage healthcare professionals. Revenue streams likely include prescription medicines, OTC products, and veterinary pharmaceuticals. The presence of a dedicated career section and media resources indicates a mature organizational structure. Partnerships such as Terme Krka suggest diversification into wellness or hospitality sectors. The company emphasizes sustainability and social responsibility, aligning with modern corporate governance trends.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner with granular user controls, indicating good privacy practices. Restricted access areas for healthcare professionals and veterinarians show attention to content access control. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy or HSTS is a minor gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure pages were found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response or abuse contact page to improve transparency and facilitate security issue reporting.
  3. Consider creating and publishing a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more visible certifications or compliance badges related to security and privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js framework, indicating a contemporary SPA architecture. JavaScript is heavily used, including Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessibility features such as skip links and font size controls. Performance is moderate, with preloading of key assets. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The site uses multiple international domains for regional presence, indicating a scalable infrastructure. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms would improve the technical maturity.
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.
