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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

PharOS operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on pharmaceutical generics and value-added products. Its business model revolves around product development and global distribution, supported by a large portfolio and extensive marketing authorizations. The company targets pharmaceutical industry stakeholders and healthcare providers worldwide. The website indicates a mature business with a large workforce and a well-established market presence. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content. The company leverages digital marketing tools like Google Analytics but lacks visible affiliate or advertising networks. Growth indicators include a broad country presence and a diverse product range.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts suggests limited transparency in security governance. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy publication and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the WordPress CMS platform, utilizing standard technologies such as jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Analytics for tracking. The presence of Yoast SEO plugin indicates attention to search engine optimization. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design elements. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. However, there is no evidence of advanced frameworks or modern JavaScript libraries beyond jQuery. Accessibility is basic, and SEO optimization is good but could be improved with richer metadata and structured data. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
