Security report for acovene.org
ACOVENE · Healthcare · N/a
High risk. 7 critical or high findings in Email security, Security headers and 2 other checks.
ACOVENE is a small healthcare and lifestyle content website focused on providing educational articles and information related to medical topics, health, lifestyle, and learning. The website targets a general audience interested in healthcare improvements and lifestyle enhancements. It operates on a WordPress platform with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap and popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. The site demonstrates good SEO practices and mobile optimization, with clear navigation and consistent branding. Contact information including email, phone, and physical address is clearly presented, enhancing business credibility. Technically, the website is hosted with a registrar DomainPicking LLC and uses cloudns.net for DNS. It employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for improved security posture. The site uses Fathom Analytics for minimal user tracking and does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, indicating partial privacy compliance. No terms of service or security policies are published, and no incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. Security-wise, the website is generally secure with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, improvements such as enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing security policies would strengthen its security posture. The domain registration data is consistent and transparent, with no suspicious patterns, supporting the legitimacy of the website. Overall, ACOVENE presents a professional and trustworthy informational platform with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic enhancements in these areas will improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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
7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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
- Critical
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
- RFC 6797 §6.1.1

- NIST SC-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-8: Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity
- High
Missing X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
- CWE-1021
- OWASP A06:2025
- CAPEC-103
- ASVS V3.4.6
- OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends X-Frame-Options: deny
- RFC 7034
- 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';…
- High
GDPR outside view
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
- High
No Cookie Policy found
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes
- 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

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.
Counted in this score
- SSL/TLS

- Security headers

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.

Notes
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.
