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

Medartis AG is a well-established Swiss medical device company specializing in precision-engineered osteosynthesis implants for skull and extremity surgeries. With a global presence including subsidiaries in Germany, UK, France, Mexico, USA, Japan, and Australia, Medartis serves healthcare professionals and medical partners worldwide. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and personalized services, including custom implants and clinical research collaborations. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and autoComplete.js, and integrates third-party widgets such as CommonNinja. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, but suffers from slow performance and lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, which is a critical security concern. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and related security headers significantly lowers the security posture. While privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, the lack of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement. The company maintains a professional online presence with comprehensive contact information and social media engagement. Overall, Medartis AG's website reflects a mature and credible business with strong global operations but requires urgent security enhancements to protect user data and maintain trust.

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

9 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

Medartis AG operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on manufacturing and distributing osteosynthesis implants. Its business model revolves around product innovation, personalized implant services (CMX), and clinical research partnerships. The company targets surgeons, hospitals, and medical partners globally, leveraging a network of subsidiaries and distributors. Market positioning is strong, supported by ISO certifications and FDA registration, indicating compliance and quality assurance. The website's multilingual support and localized content demonstrate a strategic approach to international markets. The presence of investor relations and educational resources suggests a commitment to transparency and knowledge sharing, enhancing competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include product sales, custom implant services, and educational programs. The partnership with Kerimedical and presence on major social media platforms indicate a broad ecosystem engagement. Growth indicators include recent product launches and shareholder support at AGMs. The company’s operations are supported by a robust digital infrastructure, though security improvements are needed to safeguard business continuity and reputation.

Security posture

The current security maturity of Medartis AG's website is moderate to low due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, which is a critical vulnerability. This exposes users to potential data interception and undermines trust. The site lacks essential security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options, which are best practices to mitigate common web attacks. Session management shows some security awareness with HttpOnly and SameSite cookie flags, but overall session resumption and OCSP stapling are not implemented. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, but the absence of explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies indicates gaps in security governance. No signs of malware or phishing were detected, and no vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided data. The security culture appears to be in early stages of maturity, with room for improvement in proactive risk management and transparency. Business impact of these vulnerabilities includes potential data breaches, loss of customer trust, and regulatory penalties. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and enhancement of security headers is recommended to elevate the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and protect data in transit.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure policy.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.
  6. Enhance session management with secure cookies and enable OCSP stapling for certificate validation.
  7. Improve website performance to reduce load times and enhance user experience.
  8. Maintain consistent branding and update all subsidiary contact information regularly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system, utilizing jQuery and autoComplete.js for enhanced user interaction. It integrates third-party widgets like CommonNinja for social posts and consent management. The hosting is managed via Azure DNS, indicating a cloud-based infrastructure. Performance metrics indicate slow loading times and zero resource/page size reported, suggesting potential measurement issues or optimization needs. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, including ARIA labels and semantic HTML. Technical risks include lack of SSL/TLS, missing security headers, and absence of modern TLS protocols. The site uses a large number of cache tags and cookies with appropriate flags but lacks session resumption mechanisms. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, canonical links, and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires modernization in security and performance areas to support business operations effectively.
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.
