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

      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

  3. 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

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 model centers on providing continuing education content to dental professionals, generating revenue likely through course enrollments, partner programs, and advertising. The company leverages strategic partnerships with dental associations and universities to expand its offerings and credibility. The presence of multiple marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy aimed at user engagement and retention. The domain age and registration details support a stable and legitimate business operation. The platform's focus on dental education places it in the healthcare and education sectors, targeting a specialized professional audience. Growth potential is supported by diverse content types and partner collaborations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS queries to spoofing attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no direct security contact channels are provided. The use of multiple third-party scripts increases the attack surface and necessitates regular security audits. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, improvements in security headers and DNS security are recommended to strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more comprehensive contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of established front-end technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap, supported by a variety of marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Matomo, Hotjar, and Marketo. Hosting is managed via Amazon AWS DNS infrastructure, indicating reliable and scalable hosting. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and includes SEO best practices such as canonical links and meta tags. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom-built platform, which may require dedicated maintenance resources. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization efforts and enhanced security configurations.
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.
