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

Frontier Medical Group is a UK-based healthcare company specializing in the manufacture and supply of specialist medical devices focused on pressure area care solutions. The company holds a strong market position as a leading provider in this niche, serving healthcare professionals and end users both domestically and internationally. Their product portfolio includes pressure redistributing surfaces, automated patient turning systems, and clinical learning resources. The website reflects a professional and well-branded digital presence with clear navigation and comprehensive product information. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and Livewire, and integrates analytics and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager and HubSpot. The site is mobile-optimized and performs well, though some performance improvements may be possible. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, but lacks some security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain naming rules violation error, which is unusual and reduces domain trustworthiness, though the website content and business signals strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

4 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 with a focus on pressure area care medical devices. Their business model centers on product manufacturing and distribution to healthcare providers, including NHS partnerships. The presence of multiple certifications and awards, including the King's Award for Enterprise and Investors in People Gold, indicates strong market credibility and operational excellence. The company targets healthcare professionals and institutions requiring clinically effective pressure care solutions. The website's multilingual support (English and German) suggests international market engagement. The business ecosystem includes partnerships with certification bodies and regional subsidiaries or partner sites. Growth indicators include recent awards and active news/events updates. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to engage customers and track performance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form implementations including CSRF tokens. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no explicit GDPR compliance indicators. The site uses third-party scripts from HubSpot and Google, which require ongoing monitoring for security risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers, policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information including security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
