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

Cromatic is a platform focused on modernizing life science outsourcing by providing an integrated solution for discovering, engaging, and managing outsourcing partners. The website positions itself as a facilitator for life science companies seeking efficient outsourcing relationships. The platform targets life science companies and outsourcing partners, aiming to streamline collaboration in this sector. Technically, the website uses a modern JavaScript stack including React, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and PostHog for analytics and tracking. Hosting of static assets on Amazon S3 indicates a cloud-based infrastructure. The website is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, but the content is minimal with no visible contact forms or detailed pages such as privacy policy or terms of service. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks security headers and publicly available security or privacy policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is common and justified for this business type. Overall, the site is functional but could improve transparency and security documentation to enhance trust and compliance.

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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Cromatic operates in the healthcare sector, specifically targeting the life sciences outsourcing market. Its business model revolves around providing a digital platform that simplifies the discovery and management of outsourcing partners. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with no public information on founding year or parent company. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its integrated approach to outsourcing management. The lack of detailed business information and contact data limits deeper insights into revenue streams or partnerships. The presence of a Twitter account suggests some level of social engagement. The company’s ecosystem is currently limited in publicly visible partnerships or subsidiaries. Strategic growth could focus on expanding transparency and adding comprehensive business and compliance information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and a cookie consent mechanism is present, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. No publicly accessible privacy policy, terms of service, or incident response information was found, which are important for compliance with GDPR and other regulations. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is acceptable but limits external verification of registrant details. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small platform but requires enhancements in policy transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add clear contact information including a dedicated security or abuse email address to facilitate incident reporting and response.
  4. Conduct regular security assessments and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing information about data retention policies, data protection officer contact, and compliance certifications if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, a modern JavaScript framework, and leverages cloud hosting for static assets via Amazon S3. Analytics and tracking are implemented using Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and PostHog, indicating a focus on user behavior insights. The site includes a cookie consent banner with explicit acceptance and rejection options, aligning with privacy best practices. Performance appears moderate with preconnect hints and module preloading for scripts. However, accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, with minimal content and no structured data like JSON-LD detected. The absence of security headers and detailed policy pages suggests technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure is contemporary but could benefit from improved security configurations and richer content for SEO and accessibility.
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.
