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

The American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (AAOMP) operates a professional association website focused on the specialty of oral and maxillofacial pathology. The site serves healthcare professionals, researchers, and students by providing membership information, event details, educational resources, directories, and a job board. The organization is well-established with a domain registered since 1997, reflecting a mature presence in the healthcare education sector. Technically, the website is built on a Microsoft ASP.NET Web Forms platform with Telerik UI components, enhanced by jQuery and integrated telemetry via Microsoft Application Insights. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are also employed for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile responsive and offers a moderate performance experience, though some improvements in accessibility and SEO could be made. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security or incident response policies. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, indicating some privacy compliance efforts, but the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service represents a compliance gap. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences. Strategic improvements in privacy documentation, security headers, and incident response transparency would enhance compliance and security posture.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

AAOMP holds a strong position as a specialized professional association in healthcare, focusing on oral pathology. Its business model centers on membership services, educational events, and resource provision. The target audience includes dental and pathology professionals, students, and researchers. The organization leverages partnerships such as the OOOO Journal and maintains active social media presence on Facebook. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event registrations, and educational material sales. The website content and structure support a medium-sized organization with consistent branding and a clear market niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. Use of Microsoft Application Insights for telemetry indicates monitoring capabilities. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policies or incident response contacts were found, limiting transparency and preparedness. The cookie consent banner supports privacy compliance but without a privacy policy, GDPR compliance is incomplete. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content analyzed.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance security posture.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Develop and publish an incident response policy including security contact channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Key observations

  1. Website is professionally designed and maintained.
  2. Content is relevant to oral and maxillofacial pathology professionals.
  3. No privacy policy or terms of service found, which is a compliance gap.
  4. Cookie consent mechanism is implemented.
  5. No explicit security headers detected in HTML content.
  6. Use of modern analytics and telemetry tools.
  7. No signs of malicious or suspicious content.
  8. WHOIS data supports legitimacy and long-term presence.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature ASP.NET Web Forms framework with Telerik UI controls, indicating a legacy but stable technology stack. Integration with Microsoft Application Insights and Google Analytics provides robust telemetry and analytics capabilities. The site is mobile responsive with a moderate performance profile. However, the absence of modern security headers and limited SEO metadata suggest areas for technical modernization. The CMS appears to be iMIS, a specialized association management system, which aligns with the business model. Hosting details are limited but domain registrar is Network Solutions, LLC. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
