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

MSD Animal Health Polska is a prominent veterinary health company operating in Poland, offering a broad range of veterinary medicinal products, vaccines, and related services targeted at veterinarians, farmers, animal owners, and public entities. The website reflects a professional and well-branded presence consistent with a large healthcare sector entity. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and New Relic for performance monitoring. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and monitoring tools in place, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the overall digital footprint suggests legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency and verifying domain registration details.

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

1 finding 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company holds a leading position in the veterinary healthcare market in Poland, serving a diverse audience including veterinary professionals and animal owners. Its business model combines B2B and B2C elements, focusing on pharmaceutical products and veterinary solutions. The website content and structured data indicate a mature digital presence with consistent branding and trust signals such as privacy policies and professional design. The parent company is Merck & Co., Inc., a global pharmaceutical leader. The company leverages analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and compliance. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked, indicating a focused partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs security monitoring via New Relic, indicating a proactive approach to security. Cookie consent is managed through OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification but does not directly impact website security. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to enhance trustworthiness.
  5. Consider establishing a public vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring good SEO practices. It uses Google Tag Manager and New Relic for analytics and performance monitoring, reflecting a modern technical infrastructure. The site loads with moderate speed and is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design. Accessibility features are basic but present. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent demonstrates attention to privacy compliance. No critical technical issues or deprecated technologies were identified. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementation to further enhance the technical robustness.
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.
