medi now Apotheke operates as a German online pharmacy offering a broad range of pharmaceutical products, including prescription and non-prescription medicines. The website supports local pharmacy selection, prescription fulfillment including electronic prescriptions (E-Rezept), and provides delivery or pickup options. The business targets consumers in Germany seeking convenient access to medications and health products. The site is positioned as a regional/local pharmacy network with a strong online presence and app integration to enhance customer engagement. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks such as Alpine.js, uses Swiper.js for interactive sliders, and integrates Usercentrics for cookie consent management. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for analytics and event tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and structured data markup, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data shows a professional DNS setup but lacks detailed registrant information, slightly reducing trustworthiness. No privacy policy or terms of service were found in the analyzed content, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-suited for its healthcare e-commerce purpose. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, providing clear contact information for data protection officers, and improving accessibility compliance to strengthen trust 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

4 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  2. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

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

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

medi now Apotheke operates in the healthcare and e-commerce sectors, focusing on pharmaceutical retail. The business model combines online sales with local pharmacy services, leveraging electronic prescriptions and app-based customer engagement. The company targets German consumers needing convenient medication access. The presence of product of the month promotions and detailed product information suggests active marketing and customer retention efforts. The website links to partner domains such as mein-tag.de and apotheken.de, indicating a partnership ecosystem within the German pharmacy network. The business shows signs of medium size with consistent branding and good content quality, positioning it competitively in the regional pharmacy market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent management via Usercentrics. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file was found, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability management. The WHOIS data does not provide detailed registrant information, which slightly impacts domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in security headers, transparency, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response plan, including contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based frontend likely leveraging Alpine.js for reactive components and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. It integrates Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics and event tracking. The platform appears to be a custom or Mauve-based e-commerce solution tailored for pharmacy retail. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some preloading of assets and asynchronous script loading. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary system. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience with opportunities to improve accessibility and security headers.
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.
