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

Arthrex Vet Systems is a division of Arthrex Inc., specializing in orthopedic and orthobiologic medical devices for veterinary applications, targeting veterinarians treating large and small animals. The website offers educational courses and product information, positioning itself as a leader in veterinary orthopedic solutions. The technical infrastructure is modern, leveraging Next.js, React, and CDN services to deliver a responsive and performant user experience. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, though lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which should be verified to ensure trust. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy in content but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

10 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

  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 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

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 operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on veterinary orthopedics, leveraging its parent company's reputation (Arthrex Inc.) to maintain market leadership. Its business model combines product manufacturing with continuing education services, targeting veterinary professionals globally. The website reflects a strong brand presence and consistent messaging aligned with Arthrex's corporate identity. The lack of visible contact information and privacy policies may impact user trust and regulatory compliance. The company appears to have a well-established partnership ecosystem internally but does not publicly disclose external partners or subsidiaries on this site.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. Compliance with GDPR or other data protection regulations is not clearly demonstrated, which could pose risks in regulated markets.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and transparency.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update website content to reflect compliance with relevant data protection frameworks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering and CDN distribution for performance optimization. Fonts are loaded via Typekit, and video player libraries are included for multimedia content. Google reCAPTCHA is integrated for form security. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. However, accessibility features appear basic, and no CMS is explicitly detected. Hosting appears to leverage cloud infrastructure with CDN support, contributing to moderate to good performance. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
