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

Blueprint Orthotics Ltd is a UK-based specialist company established in 2010, providing custom-made orthotics and orthoses primarily to NHS and large private clinics. The company emphasizes skilled handcrafting and offers a range of orthotic products tailored to various medical conditions. Their market position is strengthened by ISO 9001:2015 certification, reflecting a commitment to quality and customer service. The website is professionally designed, with clear navigation and comprehensive product information targeting healthcare professionals and clinics. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA for security. The site is mobile-optimized and employs various plugins for enhanced user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and anti-bot measures on forms, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR considerations. The WHOIS data is notably missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency and legitimacy. Despite this, the website content and business information appear consistent and trustworthy. Overall, the site presents a professional and credible front but would benefit from improved domain registration transparency and enhanced security headers. Strategic recommendations include implementing additional security headers, establishing an incident response contact, maintaining up-to-date software, and enhancing accessibility features to further strengthen compliance and user trust.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Blueprint Orthotics operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on manufacturing and supplying custom orthotics. Their competitive advantage lies in skilled craftsmanship, a broad product range, and ISO certification. The business model is B2B, serving NHS and private clinics across the UK. Revenue streams likely include product sales and online prescription services. The company targets healthcare professionals requiring reliable orthotic solutions. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website, active social media presence, and downloadable resources. Partnerships with certification bodies and digital agencies indicate a mature operational ecosystem. The company maintains a consistent brand image and demonstrates commitment to quality and customer service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of certain security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be a gap in security readiness. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness and could be a concern for phishing or impersonation risks. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but should enhance transparency and security controls to mitigate advanced threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Establish and publish an incident response contact or security page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0.2 with a variety of plugins such as Contact Form 7, Ninja Forms, Flexslider, and Owl Carousel, indicating a feature-rich and interactive site. It uses Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit for typography, and Google Maps API for location display. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. Technical debt appears low, but some outdated scripts and missing security headers suggest opportunities for modernization and 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.
