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

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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

CommonSpirit Health holds a strong market position as a major integrated healthcare system in the United States. Its business model centers on providing comprehensive healthcare services through a network of hospitals, clinics, and providers. The organization leverages partnerships for scheduling and provider information platforms, enhancing patient engagement. The presence of awards such as the Eisenberg Award highlights recognition in patient safety and quality. The website's content and structure target patients, families, and communities, emphasizing compassionate care and innovation. The organization likely generates revenue through healthcare services, insurance partnerships, and possibly government healthcare programs. The digital presence supports patient acquisition and resource dissemination, critical for competitive advantage in healthcare.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of modern web technologies and secure form implementations further strengthen security. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for large organizations but limits external verification. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the content or technical setup. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and formal vulnerability reporting channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer or privacy/security contacts to support compliance.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy policy details to align with evolving regulations and user expectations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging Adobe Dynamic Media for rich content delivery and Adobe Launch for tag management. Integration with YouTube iframe API and Verint Unified Web SDK indicates advanced analytics and user engagement tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich media content and third-party scripts. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting scalability and content personalization. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times further and enhance hosting transparency. The use of ContextHub and segmentation suggests advanced user experience customization capabilities.
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.
