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

INCAM is a Canadian non-profit organization established in 2004, dedicated to advancing research and knowledge in traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine. The organization serves as a collaborative hub for researchers, educators, practitioners, and students across Canada, aiming to integrate evidence-based complementary healthcare practices into the national healthcare system. INCAM offers membership services, research funding competitions, community forums, and educational events such as conferences and webinars. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image aligned with its mission and target audience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern optimization and analytics tools including NitroPack and MonsterInsights. It employs responsive design and SEO best practices, ensuring good performance and accessibility. However, some privacy and security best practices could be improved, such as adding explicit privacy and cookie policies and enhancing security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data. The absence of WHOIS data suggests domain privacy protection, which is reasonable for a non-profit entity. No critical vulnerabilities or adult content were detected. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and credible online presence for INCAM. Strategically, INCAM should focus on enhancing privacy compliance by publishing clear policies and implementing consent mechanisms. Strengthening security headers and providing incident response information would further improve trust and security posture.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

INCAM occupies a niche position as a leading Canadian network for complementary and integrative medicine research. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence since 2004, a strong community of interdisciplinary researchers, and partnerships with organizations like ISCMR. The non-profit business model relies on memberships, research funding competitions, and educational events. The target customers are academic and clinical researchers, practitioners, and students interested in integrative healthcare. Growth indicators include active symposiums, funding competitions, and member benefits. The partnership ecosystem enhances credibility and reach. Operationally, INCAM leverages digital platforms for community engagement and resource dissemination, positioning itself as a key player in Canadian complementary medicine research.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. The absence of visible privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of popular WordPress plugins and optimization tools is positive but requires vigilant maintenance to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with recommendations to enhance policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate incident reporting.
  4. Configure push notification services properly or remove incomplete integrations to avoid errors.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate security risks.

The tech stack includes modern web fonts and icon libraries such as Font Awesome and Ultimate Icons. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is fast with lazy loading and prefetching techniques. Accessibility is basic but present. Technical debt appears low, though some scripts and services (e.g., PushEngage) require configuration. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly 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.
