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

SHL Medical is a globally recognized leader specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of advanced drug delivery devices such as autoinjectors and pen injectors. The company targets pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers, offering innovative solutions that enhance drug administration. Their market position is strong, supported by a professional and content-rich website that reflects their expertise and industry leadership. Technically, the website employs modern technologies including ASP.NET Core, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for analytics and compliance, ensuring a robust digital presence with good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses anti-CSRF cookies, and provides a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, though some security headers could be improved. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature security posture with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the professional presentation and compliance features. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing clear contact and incident response information, and improving WHOIS transparency to bolster trust.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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

SHL Medical operates in the healthcare and technology sectors, focusing on B2B services for pharmaceutical companies. Their business model revolves around providing innovative drug delivery devices, positioning themselves as a market leader. The website content and structure indicate a large enterprise with a global reach. While direct contact information is not prominently displayed, the use of trusted third-party services and compliance tools suggests a well-established partnership ecosystem. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement and advertising effectiveness. Growth indicators include a diverse product portfolio and emphasis on innovation. However, the absence of detailed WHOIS and contact data suggests an opportunity to improve transparency and customer engagement channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and anti-CSRF protections in place. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, providing granular user control and GDPR compliance. Analytics and marketing scripts are carefully integrated, with no signs of vulnerable or outdated libraries. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area for enhancement. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure pages were found, indicating limited public incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations to mitigate advanced threats and improve compliance visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or provide justification for privacy protection to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and security best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack, likely ASP.NET Core, with integration of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure or resource loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. The use of third-party domains for analytics and content delivery is standard and well-managed. There is no evidence of CMS usage, suggesting a custom or enterprise-grade platform. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence with room for incremental improvements in security headers and transparency.
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.
