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

7 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

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

MEDENA AG operates in the manufacturing sector with a specialization in cosmetics and medical devices. Their competitive advantage lies in their certifications, long-standing experience, and comprehensive service offerings from development to registration consulting. The business model is primarily B2B contract manufacturing and consultancy, targeting international clients requiring compliant production in Switzerland. The company leverages certifications like ISO and NaTrue to position itself as a quality-focused manufacturer. The website indicates a mature digital presence with multilingual support and integration of analytics tools. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, relying on contact forms, which may indicate a controlled communication channel. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The company appears to maintain a focused partnership ecosystem with no unrelated external domains linked.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The cookie consent mechanism complies with GDPR requirements, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance trust and security culture. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by publishing explicit security and incident response policies and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Maps API, and UI libraries like Slick Slider and Masonry. The site uses a custom theme 'ippo-shop' and several plugins for social sharing, cookie law compliance, and multilingual support. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular security audits. Overall, the infrastructure is stable and well-maintained with opportunities for modernization in accessibility and security transparency.
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.
