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

5 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

Google Health operates at the intersection of technology and healthcare, leveraging Google's AI capabilities to innovate in health information delivery, research, and organizational tools. Its market position is that of a global leader with significant resources and partnerships, including its subsidiary Fitbit. The business model revolves around technology development, platform services, and ecosystem support rather than direct healthcare provision. The target audience includes consumers, healthcare providers, researchers, and developers. The presence of detailed spotlight content and guides indicates a strategic focus on education and collaboration. The partnership ecosystem includes Google Cloud and community platforms, supporting a broad impact in public and population health.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with privacy best practices. However, there is a lack of publicly accessible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Compliance with GDPR is implied through cookie consent but not explicitly documented. The security score is strong but could be improved by publishing detailed security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service on the website.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention and user privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS with Webpack, JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Lottie animations for rich interactive content. It is hosted on Google infrastructure, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data.

The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable digital presence with minimal technical debt observed.
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.
