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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

The Kliinikum operates as a public healthcare foundation affiliated with the University of Tartu, focusing on hospital care, medical education, and research. Its market position is strong within Estonia as a primary healthcare provider with specialized clinical services. The business model revolves around public healthcare delivery and academic collaboration. Key revenue streams likely include government funding and service fees. The website reflects a mature digital presence with partnerships evident through linked domains such as terviseportaal.ee and university medical faculties. Growth indicators include active news updates and community engagement. The institution maintains a consistent brand and trust signals through awards and official documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks some advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate modern web threats. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could improve transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, indicating an area for improvement in vulnerability management and responsible disclosure. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a public healthcare website but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy controls.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use and maintain updated software versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a custom theme and multiple plugins including jQuery, Bootstrap, Slick Carousel, and ARI Fancybox. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility features such as high contrast and font size options. Performance is moderate with multiple CSS and JS assets preloaded and deferred for efficiency. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from further optimization and security hardening. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for security and performance improvements.
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.
