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

The Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI) is a collaborative group of pharmaceutical and healthcare companies focused on driving responsible value chains within the pharmaceutical industry. Representing over 70% of the industry by revenue with 81 member companies, PSCI provides shared audit programs, training, and resources to improve safety, environmental, and social outcomes in supply chains globally. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with clear navigation and relevant content targeted at industry stakeholders, suppliers, and auditors. Technically, the website uses a modern but straightforward tech stack including jQuery, FontAwesome, Google Analytics, and Vimeo for video content. It is hosted on a DigitalOcean IP and uses HTTPS with a clientTransferProhibited domain status, indicating good domain security practices. However, DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security headers were detected, suggesting room for improvement in security hardening. From a security posture perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses domain transfer protection but lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. Analytics usage is moderate with Google Analytics and Tag Manager, but privacy compliance is basic due to missing cookie consent and limited privacy policy details. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and serves its business purpose well. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing clear security and incident response policies, and implementing cookie consent to improve privacy compliance and security posture.

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.

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

PSCI occupies a strong market position as a collaborative initiative representing a majority of the pharmaceutical industry by revenue. Its business model centers on shared responsibility and collective action to improve supply chain sustainability and compliance. The organization leverages partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies and suppliers, offering audit collaboration, training, and resource sharing. Growth indicators include recent annual reports and new events such as the Decarbonization Summit. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with many leading pharmaceutical companies as members. The website content and structure support PSCI's mission and provide transparency to stakeholders.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and domain transfer protection, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalizing policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on a traditional web stack using jQuery and jQuery UI for UI components, FontAwesome for icons, and Google Analytics/Tag Manager for tracking. The site is hosted on a DigitalOcean server with a dedicated IP. Performance is moderate with deferred JavaScript loading and responsive design elements. SEO is basic with meta description and viewport tags but lacks Open Graph or Twitter Card metadata. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The site does not appear to use a popular CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt is low but modernization opportunities exist, especially around security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
