Risk levelHigh

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

MBI Institut für Marketingberatung is a healthcare-focused private broker based in Austria, specializing in increasing accessibility to licensed medical products for vulnerable populations. With over 30 years of experience, the company partners with globally recognized vaccine manufacturers and genetic testing providers to supply governments and NGOs. The website is built on WordPress using Elementor and related plugins, hosted on a LiteSpeed server. While the site is professionally designed and provides clear contact information and GDPR-compliant cookie consent, it lacks a valid SSL certificate and modern TLS support, which is a critical security concern. No explicit security or incident response policies are found, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Overall, the business appears credible and established, but the technical security posture requires urgent improvement.

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

      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

    • 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. 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
  • 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

MBI operates in the healthcare brokerage sector, leveraging partnerships with major vaccine producers like Serum Institute and Novavax, and genetic testing provider Novogenia. Their business model focuses on brokering licensed medical products and expanding access to genomic testing. The company targets governments, NGOs, and vulnerable populations, positioning itself as a credible and competent player with a 30+ year market presence. The website content and partner mentions reinforce their market positioning and trustworthiness. The company is medium-sized and based in Austria, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The partnership ecosystem is strong, supporting their service offerings and market reach.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and security headers are minimal. The site uses SPF records correctly for email protection but lacks DNSSEC and CAA records. No incident response or security policy information is available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Cookie consent is implemented and GDPR compliant, which is a positive privacy indicator. Overall, the security maturity is low, and immediate remediation is recommended to protect user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS across the site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  6. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  7. Improve website performance metrics and provide detailed analytics with privacy compliance.
  8. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
  9. Consider adding social media presence to improve marketing and trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and several add-ons, hosted on a LiteSpeed server with IP 85.9.47.126. DNS records show valid A and MX records with SPF configured. However, SSL is not configured properly, with no TLS protocols enabled, resulting in insecure HTTP connections. The site uses chunked transfer encoding and has no performance metrics available, indicating potential slow loading. Mobile optimization is good due to responsive design via Elementor and Astra theme. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and hreflang attributes. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern but security configuration is lacking, posing risks to business operations and user trust.
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.
