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

HearingLife is a large healthcare provider specializing in hearing care services including free hearing tests, hearing aids, and risk-free trials. The company operates over 600 clinics in the United States and is part of the Demant A/S corporate group, which also owns sister brands such as Hidden Hearing and Audika internationally. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and clear branding, targeting individuals seeking hearing care solutions. Technically, the site uses modern tools including Google Tag Manager, Visual Website Optimizer, and Experian address validation, and is likely built on the Sitecore CMS platform. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers and policies are missing. WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces transparency and slightly impacts trust. Overall, the site is a credible and professional healthcare service platform with room for improvement in registrant transparency and explicit 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

2 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 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

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

HearingLife holds a strong market position as a major hearing care provider in the US, leveraging a broad clinic network and offering personalized hearing solutions. Its business model focuses on retail and service delivery of hearing aids and diagnostics. The company benefits from a global corporate structure with sister brands across multiple countries, enhancing its competitive advantage. Marketing and analytics tools are extensively used to optimize customer engagement and advertising effectiveness. The absence of visible contact details on the homepage suggests a focus on appointment scheduling through the website rather than direct contact. The company appears to maintain good privacy compliance and transparent cookie management, aligning with GDPR standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive cookie consent with granular user controls, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain transparency, which is a minor security concern. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing formal security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Improve WHOIS transparency by ensuring accurate and publicly accessible domain registration information.
  5. Add clear and accessible contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager for tag management, Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing, and Experian API for address validation. The font usage is managed via Fonts.net with Proxima Nova font family. The CMS is likely Sitecore, inferred from cookie names and session identifiers. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preconnect optimizations. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more explicit ARIA roles and semantic markup. The site is hosted on infrastructure associated with Demant A/S but no explicit hosting provider was identified from the HTML content.
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.
