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

The website www.anklesprain.com serves as an informational and promotional platform for the InternalBrace procedure, a medical treatment designed to help individuals with weak or unstable ankles recover faster and reduce the risk of recurring sprains. The site is branded under Arthrex, Inc., a recognized medical device company, and targets patients suffering from chronic ankle instability, athletes, and active individuals seeking treatment options. It provides detailed educational content, patient stories, surgeon testimonials, and a doctor finder service to facilitate patient care. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Dynatrace for performance monitoring, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with good design quality and user experience, although some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with a well-structured content hierarchy and SEO-friendly metadata. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers in the provided data. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie policies present but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages found in the analyzed content. Contact information includes a corporate email address and social media links consistent with the Arthrex brand. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the InternalBrace procedure, but the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership verification. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, and verifying domain registration details to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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';…

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 website positions itself as a specialized healthcare information and referral platform for ankle sprain treatment using the InternalBrace procedure. It leverages the reputation of Arthrex, Inc. to build credibility and attract patients and healthcare providers. The business model focuses on patient education, physician referrals, and promoting a proprietary medical procedure. The presence of surgeon testimonials and patient stories enhances trust and supports marketing efforts. The site integrates with Arthrex's broader digital ecosystem, including patient portals and social media channels, indicating a well-established partnership network. Growth indicators include active content updates, multimedia integration, and user engagement features such as doctor finders. However, the lack of transparent domain registration data may impact perceived legitimacy and should be addressed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via OneTrust, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. The use of DOMPurify suggests efforts to mitigate XSS risks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which limits transparency. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated through cookie consent but lacks explicit privacy policy documentation. Enhancing security headers, publishing clear security and incident response policies, and ensuring secure form handling would improve the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish detailed and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to confirm domain ownership and legitimacy.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for a broader audience reach.
  5. Establish and disclose incident response procedures and security contact channels to demonstrate security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, which provides a modern and flexible content management system optimized for responsive design. It integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager for analytics and Dynatrace for performance monitoring, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The use of Typekit fonts and Splide.js for sliders enhances visual appeal and interactivity. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, ensuring reliable content delivery. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and accessibility. The site uses OneTrust for cookie consent, reflecting attention to privacy compliance. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete WHOIS data, which could affect trust and security posture.
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.
