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

ALERT Life Sciences Computing, S.A. operates ALERT-ONLINE.COM as a professional healthcare software provider specializing in clinical software solutions including Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Health Information Exchange (HIE), and Business Intelligence systems. The company targets healthcare facilities, medical students, and professionals with a comprehensive suite of healthcare IT products and 24/7 support services. Their software is internationally adopted and complies with relevant certifications and standards. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 CMS with legacy jQuery and uses common web technologies including Shadowbox.js and Google Analytics. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks advanced security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which could pose risks. WHOIS data is missing, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and branding are consistent and professional. Overall, the site presents a credible business front but should improve technical security and clarify domain registration details.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

The company holds a solid position in the healthcare IT sector, offering specialized clinical software solutions with a focus on EMR and related healthcare data management systems. Their business model revolves around software development, distribution, and implementation supported by a global network and local partners. The presence of certifications and a 24/7 Network Operations Center indicates a mature service offering. Social media engagement across multiple platforms supports brand visibility and customer engagement. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, likely via contact forms. The company appears medium-sized, based in Portugal, with a focus on healthcare and technology sectors. Growth indicators include recent software updates and international deployments. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, reflecting a baseline privacy and security posture. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.6) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder timely security issue management. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by updating libraries, adding security headers, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce modern security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to enhance trust and legitimacy.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience across devices and for users with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, which is an older but still widely used content management system. The tech stack includes legacy jQuery 1.6, Shadowbox.js for media display, and Google Analytics for traffic monitoring. The site uses cookie consent scripts to comply with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, but the use of outdated libraries suggests technical debt. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. Mobile optimization is basic, indicating room for improvement. No hosting provider information was identified. The technical infrastructure supports the business needs but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
