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

Invitae is a healthcare company specializing in genetic testing services, offering DNA testing solutions integrated with medical practices. The company partners with Labcorp to enhance its service delivery, positioning itself as a significant player in the genetic testing market. The website reflects a professional healthcare service provider with a focus on improving patient care through DNA-based insights. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Next.js, Adobe Launch, and analytics tools such as Amplitude and New Relic, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and detailed privacy policies are not evident in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional presentation and partnerships. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, and improving contact transparency for security and privacy inquiries.

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 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';…

  2. 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.

  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

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

Invitae operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on genetic testing services that cater primarily to medical practices and healthcare providers. Its partnership with Labcorp strengthens its market position by leveraging Labcorp's extensive network and capabilities. The business model revolves around providing advanced genetic testing integrated into clinical workflows, targeting healthcare professionals and patients seeking DNA-based health insights. The website's content and technology stack suggest a large, established enterprise with a focus on compliance and user experience. The company benefits from trust signals such as partnerships, secure website practices, and cookie consent compliance. However, the lack of visible contact information and detailed legal disclosures on the website may limit user trust and regulatory transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and the use of monitoring and analytics tools like New Relic. Cookie consent is actively managed via Cookiebot, indicating attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others is a gap that could be exploited. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, which is a missed opportunity for transparency and user trust. The lack of WHOIS data transparency is a moderate concern but may be due to privacy protection services. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies, implementing additional headers, and providing clear security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security and privacy inquiries, including incident response contacts.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack, likely using Next.js framework, with integration of Adobe Launch for tag management and New Relic for performance monitoring. Analytics are handled via Amplitude and Google Tag Manager, indicating a data-driven approach to user engagement. The site loads multiple JavaScript chunks asynchronously, suggesting optimization for performance. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of CDN domains and asset hosting on casa.invitae.com suggests a distributed infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, explicit CMS usage is not detected. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete public documentation of security and privacy practices.
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.
