As part of the international STADA Arzneimittel AG group, it holds a strong market position as the third largest generics provider in Switzerland. The company targets healthcare professionals, pharmacies, and consumers, offering a broad product portfolio and emphasizing quality and affordability. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive product and corporate information. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Amazon Cloudfront CDN, Google Tag Manager, and Usercentrics for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with fast loading times and clear navigation. The use of HTTPS and consent mechanisms indicates a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses consent management tools, but could improve by explicitly implementing and verifying security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy policies and compliance pages are present and comprehensive, supporting GDPR adherence.

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

3 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.

    • 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.

    • 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

Spirig HealthCare AG operates in the Swiss healthcare sector, focusing on pharmaceutical generics and consumer healthcare products. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing market presence, broad product range, and integration within the STADA group, enabling access to international resources and innovation. The business model centers on supplying affordable and reliable medicines to healthcare professionals and consumers. The company targets pharmacies, healthcare providers, and patients, emphasizing quality and accessibility. Growth is supported by continuous product portfolio expansion and leveraging parent company synergies. The website's clear presentation of products, corporate values, and career opportunities reflects a mature and customer-focused organization with a strong regional and international footprint.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for privacy and consent management, and clear contact channels for pharmacovigilance and compliance. No signs of WAF blocking or security challenges were detected, indicating open and stable access. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not observed in the provided data, representing an area for improvement. The site avoids exposing sensitive data and uses secure forms, but a formal vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is absent. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers and formalizing vulnerability reporting mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Establish a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced via external dependencies.
  4. Enhance transparency by publishing data retention policies related to analytics and user data collected via forms and tracking.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices, ensuring ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack leveraging Amazon Cloudfront CDN for content delivery, Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, and Usercentrics for consent management. The CMS is likely Umbraco, inferred from URL patterns and typical usage in similar sites. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design, uses semantic HTML5, and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate to fast, with asynchronous loading of scripts. Navigation is clear and user-friendly, supporting multiple languages (German and French). Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests opportunities for modernization and risk reduction.
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.
