Risk levelMedium

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

The International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) operates a professional website focused on providing guidelines, educational content, and membership services for pathologists specializing in urological pathology. The site is built on WordPress using Elementor and MemberMouse plugins, indicating a modern CMS infrastructure with membership management capabilities. The website content is professional and targeted at medical professionals, with gated content requiring login for access. However, some content such as privacy and cookie policies are missing or minimal, and no direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided on the site, limiting direct communication channels. The WHOIS data presents inconsistencies with a future domain creation date, which raises questions about domain registration authenticity or placeholder data usage.

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

9 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"

    • 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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

ISUP positions itself as a niche international professional society in the healthcare sector, specifically uropathology. Its business model revolves around membership fees, educational content, and event organization. The website supports this with sections for membership dues, case studies, and events. The lack of visible contact details and limited privacy disclosures may impact user trust and regulatory compliance. The site leverages partnerships with USCAP and uses GoDaddy for domain registration and hosting. The organization appears small but focused, with a clear target audience of medical professionals and pathologists.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and has domain status protections such as clientDeleteProhibited, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC, lack of security headers, and missing cookie consent mechanisms reduce the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The WHOIS data inconsistency is a notable concern. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy including GDPR compliance details.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  5. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to enhance trust and security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with Elementor page builder and MemberMouse membership plugin, indicating a modern and extensible infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Stripe Elements for payment forms. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and optimization techniques. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is minimal with no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. The WHOIS data shows unusual future domain creation date, which may indicate placeholder or test data. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, allowing full content access.
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.
