Security score

48/100

Risk levelHigh

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

EMD Services Ltd is a small, specialized company with over 40 years of experience in marketing medical simulators, manikins, task trainers, infusion pumps, and monitoring devices primarily to the medical education community. The company emphasizes quality, accountability, and after-sales service, positioning itself as an authorized dealer for reputable manufacturers such as Simulab Corporation. The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and several plugins, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity with basic mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies and lack of visible security headers indicate gaps in compliance and security best practices. Critically, the WHOIS data for the domain is missing or indicates the domain is unregistered, which raises concerns about the legitimacy and trustworthiness of the domain despite the professional appearance of the website. Overall, the site is accessible and safe for general audiences but requires improvements in security posture and compliance documentation.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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

The company operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on B2B sales of medical simulation and monitoring equipment. Its market position is that of a small but experienced player with a strong emphasis on quality and service. The business model revolves around authorized dealership and after-sales support, targeting hospitals, medical educators, and healthcare providers. The presence of company registration and VAT numbers adds credibility, although the lack of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable discrepancy. The website content is relevant and professional, supporting the company's market positioning. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content or linked domains.

Security posture

The website currently lacks critical security headers and does not provide evidence of HTTPS enforcement, which are essential for protecting user data and ensuring secure communications. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating potential non-compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The absence of incident response contacts or security policies further suggests limited security maturity. While no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content, the missing WHOIS data and lack of security best practices reduce overall trust. The security score is moderate but requires urgent improvements to align with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Configure and deploy essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish clear incident response and security contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Verify and update domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available, improving legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Karmav4 theme and several plugins including WooCommerce and NextGEN Gallery. The technology stack includes PHP and jQuery with standard front-end libraries like FlexSlider. The site demonstrates moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks advanced accessibility features. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but could be enhanced with structured data and improved content policies. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. The site does not appear to use modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced performance optimization techniques, indicating some technical debt and opportunities for modernization.
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.
