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.

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

CUF holds a strong market position as a comprehensive healthcare service provider in Portugal, offering a wide array of clinical and digital health services. The business model centers on direct healthcare delivery through owned units and digital platforms for appointments and teleconsultations. The company leverages social media and digital marketing tools to engage its audience. While no direct contact information or detailed corporate data was found in the provided content, the structured data and social media links support legitimacy and brand consistency. The absence of explicit privacy and terms pages suggests an area for improvement in compliance and transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and integrates cookie consent mechanisms that default to denying ad and analytics storage, indicating a privacy-aware approach. Use of Google Tag Manager and Piwik PRO analytics is consent-based, minimizing unauthorized tracking. Accessibility features are implemented via EqualWeb widget. However, no explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which are recommended for enhanced security maturity. Security headers are implied but not explicitly documented in the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages with clear navigation links.
  2. Implement and publicize a security policy including incident response and contact channels.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Explicitly configure and document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Piwik PRO analytics, and YouTube iframe API. Accessibility is enhanced with EqualWeb tools, and cookie consent is managed via OneTrust. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated, though hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site could benefit from explicit documentation of security headers and enhanced transparency in privacy and security policies.
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.
