Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

Philip Morris International is a mature, enterprise-level manufacturing company focused on transforming the tobacco industry by developing and commercializing smoke-free products as better alternatives to cigarettes. The company maintains a strong global market position with a comprehensive website that provides detailed business, investor, sustainability, and scientific information. Technically, the website uses a modern CMS (Sitefinity), integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools, and is hosted on a reputable cloud provider. However, the security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support, which critically impacts secure communications. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues to ensure secure user interactions.

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

6 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

      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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

PMI operates globally with a focus on smoke-free tobacco alternatives, targeting adult smokers and investors. Their business model emphasizes innovation, scientific substantiation, and sustainability. The website reflects a strong brand with consistent messaging and multiple trust signals such as investor relations, sustainability reporting, and vulnerability disclosure. The company leverages partnerships for privacy and science initiatives. The domain is well-registered and protected, indicating a legitimate and stable business presence.

Security posture

The website implements several security headers and uses secure cookie flags, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected in scripts or libraries. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately renew or fix the SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and TLS 1.2+ protocols.
  2. Ensure HSTS is properly configured and enforced to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility with verified company emails and phone numbers for better user trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitefinity CMS platform, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, and uses Akamai CDN for content delivery. It integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Adobe Target, Gigya for identity management, and OneTrust for cookie consent. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance data was not available, but the use of CDNs and modern technologies suggests moderate to good performance. The invalid SSL certificate is a critical technical risk that must be addressed to maintain secure operations.
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.
