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

4 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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
    • 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

Phenion operates in the healthcare and biotechnology sector, focusing on alternatives to animal testing and tissue engineering. The business model is B2B, supplying research tools such as reconstructed skin tissues, primary skin cells, and cell culture media. The brand benefits from Henkel's global presence and reputation, with a dedicated US site indicating regional market segmentation. The website's content and linked domains reflect a mature partnership ecosystem and a focus on scientific innovation. Marketing and analytics tools are used moderately, balancing user tracking with privacy compliance. The lack of direct contact emails and phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms, typical for specialized B2B companies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and a Content-Security-Policy header, indicating good baseline security practices. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. Multiple tracking pixels and analytics services are present but appear to be managed responsibly. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data raises a concern about domain registration legitimacy, which should be addressed to ensure trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance communication trust.
  4. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CoreMedia CMS platform, utilizing a variety of modern JavaScript libraries including GSAP, Highcharts, Isotope, SwiperJS, and Mustache for dynamic content and interactivity. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and layouts. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and preloading fonts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for videos. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with enhanced ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional user experience with room for modernization and accessibility enhancements.
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.
