75/100

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

Pharmapack Europe is a leading European event and hub focused on the pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery device industry. Operated under the CPHI brand and parent company Informa, it serves as a key networking and exhibition platform for industry professionals. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence with good content quality and clear industry focus. Technically, it leverages modern marketing and analytics technologies including Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight, and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, with GDPR-compliant consent management implemented. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures are absent. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some legitimacy concerns, but the overall site content and technical indicators suggest a legitimate and professional business operation. Strategic recommendations include improving transparency around security policies 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

3 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.

    • 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. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Pharmapack Europe occupies a strong market position as a specialized event organizer in the healthcare sector, specifically targeting pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery device industries. Its business model revolves around event management, industry networking, and exhibition services. The site reflects a large-scale operation consistent with Informa's portfolio. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Partnerships with domains like informaconnect.com and privacy.informa.com reinforce its integration within a broader corporate ecosystem. The lack of direct contact information on the site may limit immediate customer engagement but aligns with event-focused business models.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, and consent management for GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers in the provided data and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The missing WHOIS data is a notable concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an event site but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Verify and make publicly available accurate WHOIS domain registration information to enhance legitimacy.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit GDPR compliance and consent management mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, indicating a robust enterprise-grade content management platform. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Visual Website Optimizer, and Transcend Consent Management, reflecting a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading for analytics scripts, enhancing user experience. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected, and no hosting provider information was found in the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional event site but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
