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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 positions itself as a leader in animal health with a diversified product portfolio across species and medical domains. Its business model focuses on manufacturing and distributing veterinary products globally, supported by R&D and a commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility. The extensive list of country-specific domains indicates a decentralized but coordinated international presence. Investor transparency and detailed corporate governance information suggest a mature governance structure. The career section and job offers indicate active recruitment and growth. The company targets veterinary professionals, investors, and partners, leveraging its family-owned heritage as a trust signal.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Use of Matomo Cloud analytics reflects a privacy-by-design approach. Cookie consent is managed via Tarteaucitron, providing users control over tracking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information represents a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could improve security communication. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with explicit policies and incident response details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Ensure all forms include visible anti-CSRF tokens and security measures to prevent abuse.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and robust CMS platform, indicating a well-maintained technical infrastructure. It uses JavaScript libraries including jQuery UI and integrates analytics via Google Tag Manager and Matomo Cloud. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS assets loaded asynchronously. SEO is supported by canonical links, Open Graph tags, and alternate hreflang links for multilingual support. The presence of a comprehensive country selector and multiple localized domains shows a sophisticated internationalization strategy. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is advised.
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.
