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

Viatris Inc. is a global healthcare company founded in 2020, focused on empowering people worldwide to live healthier lives through a broad portfolio of pharmaceutical products. The company operates at an enterprise scale with a strong global presence, offering products across multiple therapeutic areas and maintaining a commitment to sustainability and corporate governance. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content targeting healthcare professionals, investors, job seekers, and patients. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks, including jQuery, Backbone.js, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, and appears to be built on the Sitecore CMS platform. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced and privacy policies in place, though the absence of visible security headers and lack of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure are areas for improvement. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that slightly reduces trustworthiness but does not overshadow the professional and consistent branding and content quality. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of professionalism, compliance, and user experience.

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

4 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
    • 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';…

  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

Viatris holds a significant position in the healthcare sector as a global pharmaceutical company with a comprehensive product portfolio and a focus on access and affordability. The company leverages a multi-channel approach including investor relations, newsroom communications, and career opportunities to engage diverse stakeholders. Its global footprint is evidenced by numerous country-specific domains and language options. The business model centers on manufacturing and distributing high-quality medicines, supported by strong corporate governance and sustainability initiatives. Awards and recognitions enhance its market credibility. The company’s digital ecosystem integrates compliance and transparency tools such as a compliance line and privacy notices, supporting regulatory adherence and stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes privacy and cookie policies indicating a baseline of security and compliance. Use of Google Tag Manager suggests controlled analytics deployment. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No public security policy or incident response information is available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is unusual and may indicate privacy protection or registry issues, which should be investigated further. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them to maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring jQuery, Backbone.js, Lo-Dash, and media players like JW Player, integrated with Google Tag Manager for analytics. The presence of Sitecore CMS is inferred from script paths and structure, indicating a robust enterprise content management system. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and font resizing controls. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of key scripts. There is room for improvement in security header implementation and possibly hosting provider transparency. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence aligned with enterprise standards.
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.
