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

Vis Vitalis GmbH is an established contract manufacturer of nutritional supplements based in Austria, with a business history dating back to 1986. The company specializes in the development and production of capsules, powders, liquids, and proprietary PANMOL® raw materials, serving a diverse clientele with both small and large batch orders. Their market position is strengthened by nearly four decades of experience, a medium-sized workforce, and certifications such as IFS 8, underscoring their commitment to quality and food safety. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform utilizing PHP 8.2 and various contemporary JavaScript libraries and plugins, including WP Grid Builder and Contact Form 7. While the site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, performance metrics indicate potential issues with load time measurement. The site employs cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR, including Borlabs Cookie and conditional loading of Matomo Tag Manager. From a security perspective, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not enforce HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability. No modern TLS protocols or strong cipher suites are enabled, and essential security headers like HSTS are missing. Although no active vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the absence of proper SSL/TLS configuration significantly lowers the security posture. Overall, Vis Vitalis presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with comprehensive business information and compliance with privacy regulations. However, the critical lack of HTTPS and proper SSL configuration poses a significant risk that should be addressed promptly to protect user data and maintain trust.

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.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

  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.

Business context

Business profile

Vis Vitalis operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on contract manufacturing of dietary supplements. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience, personalized customer support, and a broad range of services from product development to quality assurance. The business model centers on B2B and B2C engagements, offering both small-scale and large-scale production runs. The company targets health-conscious businesses and individuals seeking customized nutritional products. Their strategic partnerships include raw material suppliers and certification bodies, enhancing their market credibility. Growth indicators include a stable customer base of 97 clients and a sizable employee count of 92, reflecting medium enterprise status. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting their market position as a reliable manufacturer in Austria.

Security posture

The current security maturity of Vis Vitalis's website is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS enforcement. This exposes the site to potential data interception and undermines user trust. While the server is running modern PHP and nginx, the TLS protocols are disabled, and no strong cipher suites are configured. The site does not implement HSTS or OCSP stapling, which are best practices for HTTPS security. No known critical vulnerabilities or malware were detected, and the site employs standard security plugins and mechanisms. However, the lack of secure transport is a critical gap that significantly impacts the overall security posture. Compliance with GDPR is supported by a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy, but technical security improvements are urgently needed to safeguard data and meet modern security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites to enhance encryption strength.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce secure connections.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate validation performance and security.
  5. Review and add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  6. Ensure Google Tag Manager container is properly loaded after user consent to enable accurate analytics tracking.
  7. Regularly audit and update all plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  8. Maintain clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies with user-friendly consent mechanisms.
  9. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  10. Perform periodic security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with PHP 8.2 and served by nginx, indicating a modern and scalable infrastructure. It uses popular plugins such as WP Grid Builder for content layout, Contact Form 7 for forms, and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site includes advanced JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements and analytics integration. However, performance data is missing or not properly measured, suggesting potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, with responsive design and ARIA roles in place. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The hosting provider is identified via DNS as viennacix.com, a reputable Austrian hosting service. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but requires urgent SSL/TLS improvements to meet security 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.
