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

Clinical Companions is a healthcare-focused SaaS solution developed by Empath Labs Inc., designed to improve retention and engagement in pediatric clinical trials. The platform offers an interactive app that educates and supports children and their caregivers throughout the clinical trial process, aiming to reduce anxiety and improve patient experience. The company has received industry recognition, including the DIA Americas 2024 Inspire Award for Outstanding Contribution to Health. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and includes multimedia testimonials and detailed service descriptions. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, reflecting a commitment to user data protection and GDPR compliance. From a technical perspective, the website leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, GSAP animations, Wistia video hosting, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast performance and good mobile responsiveness. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data; however, the absence of security headers and explicit security policies suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or the domain appears unregistered, which is unusual for a professional business and reduces trustworthiness somewhat. Overall, the website presents a credible and professional business offering in the healthcare technology sector, with strong content quality and privacy compliance. The main risk factor is the unclear domain registration status, which should be verified to enhance trust. Strategic recommendations include adding security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and clarifying domain ownership to improve business credibility and security posture.

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.

Priority findings

4 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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Empath Labs Inc. positions Clinical Companions as an innovative solution in the pediatric clinical trial market, focusing on patient retention and engagement through educational and interactive tools. The business model is B2B SaaS targeting clinical trial sites and caregivers. The company leverages partnerships and industry recognition to build credibility. Revenue likely derives from per-patient and per-site pricing models, with custom pricing for larger trials. The website's integration with Empath Labs' main site indicates a broader ecosystem of healthcare technology solutions. Growth indicators include award recognition and detailed customer testimonials. The absence of phone contact suggests a digital-first sales approach. The company maintains a clean, consistent brand identity and targets a niche healthcare segment with specialized needs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR standards. Use of Sentry for error monitoring indicates proactive error and incident tracking. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The missing WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain ownership transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing website but could be improved to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to ensure transparency and improve trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and Wistia for video hosting. It uses jQuery 3.5.1 and integrates Google Analytics 4 for user tracking. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, providing fast load times and excellent mobile optimization. The site includes accessibility considerations such as focus outlines and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. The use of cookie consent banners and modals indicates compliance with privacy regulations. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. The site could benefit from adding security headers and further accessibility enhancements to improve overall technical robustness.
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.
