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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 3 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

Eurofins Scientific operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on biopharma product testing. Their business model is service-oriented, providing laboratory testing and analytical services to pharmaceutical and medical device companies. The company leverages its global network to maintain a competitive advantage and offers a broad portfolio of testing services that cater to regulatory and quality control needs. The website indicates strategic partnerships and subsidiaries, such as PSS Insourcing Solutions, enhancing their service delivery capabilities. The presence of client testimonials and accreditations supports strong trust and credibility in the market. Eurofins targets regulated industries requiring high-quality testing, positioning itself as a reliable partner for compliance and product safety.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and the implementation of cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. The use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response information suggests an opportunity to enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could benefit from additional hardening and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are in use.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards, improving usability for all users.
  5. Consider providing direct contact information such as verified company emails and phone numbers to facilitate communication and support.

The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but the use of CDN-hosted scripts indicates a distributed content delivery approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for an enterprise-level service provider.
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.
