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

Podravka d.d. is a well-established Croatian food processing and pharmaceutical company with a strong international presence in over 60 markets and a portfolio of more than 1000 products. The company emphasizes sustainable development and social responsibility, targeting consumers seeking high-quality food and pharmaceutical products. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multiple language options and comprehensive content about products, corporate responsibility, and investor relations. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and Google Tag Manager for analytics, with good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security headers and incident response information are absent. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which is unusual but does not detract from the overall legitimacy indicated by the website content and branding. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to improve trust and compliance.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

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

Podravka operates primarily in the manufacturing sector, focusing on food and pharmaceutical products. The company has a large scale with a long history and a broad market reach. Its business model centers on product innovation, quality, and sustainability. The website's multilingual support and investor relations content indicate a mature corporate structure and international ambitions. The presence of R&D sections highlights a focus on innovation. The company maintains active social media channels, enhancing brand visibility and customer engagement. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor anomaly but does not undermine the company's established market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party libraries is modern but should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency and trust by including phone contact numbers explicitly labeled for customer support or security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, RequireJS, TweenMax, and lazysizes for lazy loading images. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA roles and hidden text for screen readers. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external CDNs and lazy loading to improve load times. The site does not appear to use a known CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for performance tuning 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.
