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

MediPreis.de operates as a specialized online price comparison platform focused on medications, homeopathic products, cosmetics, and wellness items from various online pharmacies in Germany. Established since 2004 and owned by Centalus Media GmbH, it offers consumers the ability to compare prices, read product and pharmacy reviews, and access health-related content. The platform supports mobile users and provides a dedicated app, enhancing accessibility and user convenience. The business model is primarily based on advertising and partnerships with pharmacy providers, ensuring a free service for end users. Technically, the website employs a combination of jQuery, jQuery UI, Fancybox, and QuaggaJS for barcode scanning, indicating a mature but somewhat traditional tech stack. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some modern security headers are missing. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with active consent mechanisms. Analytics usage includes Google Analytics with moderate user tracking. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The WHOIS data is limited but consistent with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, MediPreis.de presents a trustworthy, professional, and user-friendly platform with strong content quality and business credibility. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and technical modernization could further strengthen its market position.

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

MediPreis.de holds a strong position in the German online healthcare e-commerce sector as a price comparison portal for pharmacy products. Its competitive advantage lies in extensive product listings, real-time price updates, and user-generated reviews, fostering consumer trust. The business model leverages partnerships with online pharmacies and advertising revenue, providing a free service to consumers. Target customers are price-conscious individuals seeking affordable medications and health products. The company demonstrates growth potential through mobile app adoption and content diversification. Partnerships with Centalus Media GmbH and other service providers support operational stability. The platform's transparent pricing and quality assurance policies enhance its reputation and user retention.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and secure form handling. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of established JavaScript libraries is noted, though some are older versions, which may pose future risks if not updated. Privacy compliance is strong with clear cookie consent and GDPR-aligned policies. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. These gaps could impact incident handling and user trust in case of security events. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhanced documentation and proactive security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add and configure security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Regularly update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty information to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature but somewhat dated technology stack centered around jQuery 1.9.1 and jQuery UI 1.11.3, supplemented by Fancybox for modals and QuaggaJS for barcode scanning. The site is custom-built without a recognizable CMS, indicating bespoke development. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site includes modern features like speech recognition and barcode scanning, enhancing user experience. However, some technical debt is evident in older library versions and missing advanced security headers. Hosting details are not explicit, and no CDN usage was detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security hardening.
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.
