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

Selectchemie AG is a well-established Swiss company founded in 1969, specializing in supplying high-quality pharmaceutical and nutrition ingredients as well as generic finished dosage forms. The company operates globally with locations in 17 countries, offering comprehensive technical, scientific, regulatory, and commercial support along the entire value chain. Their business model focuses on being a full-service provider to pharmaceutical and nutrition industries, emphasizing quality, reliability, and innovation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor, leveraging modern web technologies and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Plausible Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital presence. However, some security headers are missing, and there is no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that requires further verification to confirm domain legitimacy and registration status. Overall, Selectchemie AG presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and domain registration verification would enhance their security posture and trustworthiness.

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. 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: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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"

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

Selectchemie AG holds a strong market position in the pharmaceutical and nutrition sectors, leveraging over 50 years of industry experience. Their competitive advantage lies in a broad product portfolio, regulatory expertise, and a global network of locations and partners. The company targets pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutrition product developers, and related stakeholders. Revenue streams likely include ingredient supply, generics development, and consulting services. Growth indicators include recent partnerships and active participation in industry events. The partnership ecosystem includes entities like ccureapi.com, enhancing their service offerings. Operationally, the company demonstrates a stable and professional approach with clear branding and comprehensive service coverage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security.txt or incident response contact reduces transparency and readiness. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, indicating good baseline security hygiene. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy policies and consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are limited by the absence of explicit security contact information. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and provide explicit incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and response readiness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding visible certifications, testimonials, or security badges on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted CMS platform (WordPress) with Elementor page builder, ensuring ease of content management and responsive design. The inclusion of Google Tag Manager and Plausible Analytics indicates a balanced approach to analytics and privacy. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in image sizes and script loading. Accessibility features are present, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. The technical stack is stable but could be improved by adding security headers and optimizing third-party dependencies to reduce potential attack surfaces.
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.
