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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Viatris holds a strong market position as a multinational pharmaceutical company with a broad global footprint. Its business model centers on manufacturing and distributing pharmaceutical products while fostering partnerships to enhance patient access. The company leverages a global infrastructure to serve diverse markets, supported by a comprehensive investor relations presence and compliance mechanisms. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support and localized country sites, indicating strategic market segmentation. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests controlled communication channels, likely for regulatory compliance. The company’s branding is consistent and professional, reinforcing trust and credibility in the healthcare sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, and there is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which are best practices for transparency and security culture. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing vulnerability management. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a corporate healthcare site but with room for improvement in transparency and advanced protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file for transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitecore CMS platform, utilizing a modern JavaScript technology stack including jQuery, Backbone.js, and Lo-Dash. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking, alongside a cookie consent SDK to comply with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, providing a good user experience. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of scripts and rich media content. There is no explicit hosting provider information, but the presence of CDN-hosted scripts suggests a distributed content delivery approach. Technical debt appears low, with opportunities to enhance security headers and streamline third-party dependencies for improved performance and security.
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.
