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

2 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Ambu operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on disposable medical devices, serving clinical and preclinical markets. Their business model revolves around manufacturing and selling specialized single-use products, which positions them as an essential supplier in healthcare. The company maintains multiple regional domains indicating a global presence. Their marketing and analytics ecosystem includes Google Analytics, Salesforce, Marketo, and LinkedIn, enabling targeted outreach and customer engagement. The website's content and structure suggest a mature digital presence with good SEO and user experience. No direct revenue data or detailed company registration info was found, but the WHOIS data and domain portfolio support legitimacy and operational scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and use of session cookies for essential functions. The cookie consent banner provides granular user control, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy is a gap. No visible incident response or security policy pages reduce transparency in security management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The integration of multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools increases the attack surface but appears managed through consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Create and publish a Terms of Service page to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Dynamicweb 9 CMS, integrating Google Tag Manager and CookieInformation for consent management. Hosting infrastructure likely includes Cloudflare and F5 BIG-IP for load balancing and security. The site uses modern meta tags for SEO and viewport settings for mobile responsiveness. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. The cookie consent mechanism is comprehensive and user-friendly. Some technical debt is noted in missing advanced security headers and limited accessibility features. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and compliant web presence with room for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
