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

The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology (ISUOG) operates as a professional membership association and charity dedicated to advancing research, education, and standards in ultrasound within the fields of obstetrics and gynecology. The organization targets medical professionals, researchers, and educators globally, providing educational resources, research promotion, and hosting events to improve women's health outcomes. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image aligned with its mission. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility features, though some accessibility aspects could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, and the site uses HTTPS with a solid SSL configuration, ensuring secure communications. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and no public security policy or incident response contacts are available, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is typical for professional organizations, and no suspicious indicators are present. Overall, ISUOG's website is a credible and professional platform with a strong focus on privacy compliance and user consent. Strategic recommendations include adding explicit security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing clear contact information for incident response to further strengthen the security posture and user trust.

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

3 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. 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 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

Business profile

ISUOG holds a strong position as an international professional society in the healthcare sector, specifically focusing on ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology. Its business model centers on membership services, educational content, and research dissemination, supported by charitable status. The organization leverages partnerships with major technology and advertising platforms for outreach and analytics. The absence of explicit contact details on the homepage suggests a controlled communication approach, typical for professional societies. Growth indicators include active social media presence and use of modern digital marketing tools. The organization maintains a consistent brand and targets a specialized audience of healthcare professionals, positioning itself as a trusted authority in its niche.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. The use of Cookiebot indicates a commitment to privacy compliance. However, the lack of detected security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analyzed content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formalizing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Develop and make publicly available a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider publishing clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Tag Manager for analytics management, and Cookiebot for cookie consent compliance. The site loads external resources from reputable domains such as Google Fonts and major social media platforms. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. No CMS or hosting provider information was explicitly detected. The site uses multiple JavaScript libraries for UI components like carousels and popups. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
