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

6 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

      • 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

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 business operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on family practice and community health services. It leverages a private billing model and emphasizes patient-centered, evidence-based care. The company has a strong local market presence with a large practitioner base and extensive service offerings. The website supports business growth through clear service descriptions, appointment booking calls to action, and educational content via news and media. The use of advanced medical intelligence platforms like Clinimetrix indicates a commitment to quality and innovation. The company maintains a consistent brand image and trust signals such as aggregate ratings and Google verification. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content or WHOIS data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and some recommended HTTP security headers. The absence of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism presents compliance risks, especially under GDPR and similar regulations. The use of Google reCAPTCHA scripts without a configured site key reduces effectiveness against spam. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding formal policies, enhancing header configurations, and implementing full privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Configure Google reCAPTCHA with a valid site key on all forms to prevent spam and abuse.
  5. Provide explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for reporting issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using WPBakery Page Builder and Ultimate VC Addons, ensuring flexible content management and responsive design. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes. The site uses caching and performance optimization via WP Rocket. DNS is managed via GoDaddy's domaincontrol.com servers, but DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive CSS and media queries. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and resource optimization. Accessibility is good with semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
