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

2 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

  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 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

The company holds a strong market position as part of the Krka Group, leveraging 70 years of experience in generic pharmaceuticals. Its business model focuses on pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution with a broad product portfolio including prescription, OTC, and veterinary medicines. The website links extensively to related Krka group sites, indicating a well-integrated partnership ecosystem. Certifications such as the TOP Education Management-Zertifikat highlight investment in employee development. The target customer segments include medical professionals and patients, supported by dedicated content and login areas for healthcare providers. The company’s strategic focus on sustainability and quality is evident from the content and news updates.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism allowing granular user control, indicating good privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy and a published incident response contact or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in security maturity. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, balanced by transparent cookie management. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formal vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or provide explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  4. Enhance user privacy by reviewing and possibly minimizing tracking scripts and ensuring clear data retention policies are communicated.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to stay aligned with evolving GDPR and other data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily Nuxt.js and Vue.js, which support server-side rendering and good SEO practices. The use of Typekit fonts and responsive design techniques ensures a consistent and accessible user experience across devices. Hosting appears to be with a German provider (Ewetel), supporting low latency for the target audience. Performance is moderate with preloading of critical assets and asynchronous script loading. The site includes accessibility features such as skip links and font size adjustments. Technical risks are minimal, though the absence of some security headers and a formal vulnerability disclosure mechanism represent areas for future technical enhancement.
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.
