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

CooperVision UK is a well-established healthcare company specializing in the manufacture and distribution of soft contact lenses designed for daily and monthly use. The website serves both consumers and eye care practitioners, providing product information, patient instruction leaflets, and tools such as a 'Find an Optician' service. The company operates under the global CooperVision brand, with a domain registered since 1999, reflecting a mature market presence. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, employing modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and a consistent branding strategy. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent present but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Overall, the website is professional, credible, and secure with minor gaps in privacy and security policy transparency. Strategic improvements in publishing privacy policies, security disclosures, and enhancing security headers would strengthen compliance and trust.

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

3 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 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

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

CooperVision UK holds a strong position in the healthcare sector, focusing on eye care products. Their business model centers on manufacturing and distributing contact lenses with a global brand presence and localized regional sites. The website targets both consumers and practitioners, offering educational content and product portfolios. The company benefits from a mature domain age and reputable registrar, indicating stability. Marketing efforts include analytics and cookie consent tools, but no aggressive advertising or affiliate programs were detected. The absence of explicit contact information on the main site may indicate a focus on practitioner-mediated sales or privacy considerations. The company’s ecosystem includes multiple regional domains, suggesting a broad international footprint. The site’s content and navigation are well-structured, supporting user engagement and product discovery. However, the lack of visible privacy and security policies may be a compliance risk in regulated markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and integration of a recognized cookie consent platform (OneTrust). However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The site does not provide visible incident response contacts or security policies, which could hinder timely reporting and resolution of security issues. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including a security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for improved user experience and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a current technology stack.

The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
