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

Asper Biogene is a specialized genetic testing company offering a broad range of DNA testing services including next-generation sequencing panels, whole exome sequencing, and whole genome sequencing. The company targets healthcare professionals, geneticists, and patients seeking advanced genetic diagnostics. Their market position is supported by multiple certifications such as ISO 15189:2012 and ISO 9001:2015, and a Health Board license, indicating compliance with healthcare standards. The website content is professionally presented with detailed service descriptions and a multilingual interface. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Analytics integrations. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with structured data implemented. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data is missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. However, the website's professional content and certifications mitigate some trust issues. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to enhance security transparency. Overall, Asper Biogene presents a credible and professional online presence for a healthcare genetic testing provider, but should address WHOIS transparency, cookie consent, and security header implementation 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.

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.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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.

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

Asper Biogene operates in the healthcare sector focusing on genetic testing services. Their competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive portfolio of genetic panels covering multiple disease areas such as cardiogenetics, neurogenetics, metabolic disorders, and oncology. The business model is service-oriented, providing testing and analysis to medical professionals and patients. Revenue streams likely include test orders, sequencing services, and possibly research collaborations. The company demonstrates growth through portfolio expansions and updates. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media engagement but no explicit partner domains were identified. Strategic observations suggest a focus on quality certifications and compliance to maintain market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or abuse contact information is published, limiting readiness for security events. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which is a gap in transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, explicit incident contacts, and cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to improve security communication.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a custom theme 'asper' and common plugins such as WPML for multilingual support and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration. The tech stack includes jQuery 2.2.4 and Bootstrap 3.3.5 for UI components. Performance is moderate with caching and minification evident. SEO is enhanced by structured JSON-LD data and meta tags. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No hosting provider information was detected. The site uses external resources from Google APIs and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. Technical risks include outdated jQuery version and missing security headers which could be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
