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

Build Better Bones is a non-profit educational website operated by the International Osteoporosis Foundation, providing global resources to individuals diagnosed with osteoporosis, their caregivers, and those seeking prevention strategies. The site offers comprehensive guidance on exercise, nutrition, and home safety to support bone health. The website is well-branded, professionally designed, and clearly targeted at a healthcare audience with a focus on osteoporosis education. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 9, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and AddToAny for social sharing. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. Privacy and cookie policies are present and linked to the parent foundation's domain, indicating good privacy compliance. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not published. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though security headers are not explicitly detected. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were found. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is justified given the non-profit nature of the organization. Overall, the site demonstrates a trustworthy and professional presence with minor areas for security enhancement. The overall risk is low, with recommendations focusing on improving security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to enhance transparency and trust.

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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  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
      • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 International Osteoporosis Foundation operates Build Better Bones as an educational platform to support osteoporosis patients and caregivers worldwide. The site positions itself as an authoritative resource with a non-profit business model focused on health education rather than commercial revenue. Key competitive advantages include its global reach, association with a reputable foundation, and comprehensive content covering exercise, nutrition, and home safety. The target customer segments are patients, caregivers, and individuals interested in osteoporosis prevention. The partnership ecosystem includes the parent foundation and related healthcare organizations. Growth indicators include multilingual support and regularly updated content. The platform's operations emphasize accessibility and user engagement through multimedia resources.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. There is no published incident response or security policy, which could enhance user trust and preparedness for security events. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure process limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site is secure for general users but would benefit from enhanced security documentation and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and engagement with security researchers.
  4. Enhance contact information by including phone numbers or additional verified contact channels for better user support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9 CMS, utilizing modern front-end technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and AddToAny for social sharing. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized with responsive design. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, supporting users with disabilities. SEO is supported through canonical links and meta tags. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected in the provided HTML. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enhance incident response capabilities to reduce technical risks.
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.
