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

The European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) is a collaborative network of eleven leading university hospitals across Europe, focused on promoting excellence and innovation in healthcare, research, and education. The alliance aims to improve health outcomes and support sustainable healthcare systems in Europe by sharing best practices, facilitating professional exchanges, and collaborating on research and policy advice. The website reflects a mature and professional organization with a clear mission and strong partnerships with major European hospitals. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, integrating modern web technologies such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. The site is well-structured with good SEO practices, mobile optimization, and accessibility considerations, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with a clean design and clear navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and dedicated security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is due to EURid privacy policies, but the website's professional presentation and reputable partner links indicate high legitimacy. Overall, EUHA's website demonstrates a strong digital presence aligned with its healthcare collaboration mission, with room for improvement in security policy transparency and technical security hardening.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

EUHA occupies a strategic position as a pan-European alliance of university hospitals, leveraging collective expertise in specialized care, research, and education. Its business model is non-profit and collaborative, focusing on knowledge exchange, joint projects, and policy influence. The alliance targets healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers, emphasizing innovation and sustainable healthcare systems. The presence of major hospitals from multiple countries enhances its competitive advantage and credibility. The website content and partner domains reflect a well-established network with significant influence in European healthcare. Growth indicators include active initiatives, seed funding programs, and a broad scope of collaborative projects.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, indicating compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the lack of explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.) and absence of published security policies or incident response plans suggest areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the content. The use of third-party analytics and consent management tools is appropriate but requires ongoing monitoring for security risks. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified for this type of organization. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly to maintain security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and performance monitoring, alongside Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent. The site uses Swiper.js for interactive slides and has structured data markup (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. However, there is no explicit hosting provider information. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require continuous security monitoring. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
