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

LAUREA Medical and Scientific Learning, Communication and Advocacy is a Belgium-based small enterprise specializing in designing and organizing medical and scientific learning activities, communication strategies, and advocacy efforts. Their services include live learning experiences, e-learning content creation, content marketing, and association management, targeting healthcare professionals, policy makers, and patients. The website is built on Squarespace and integrates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight. While the site is professionally designed and mobile-optimized, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but security headers and incident response information are missing. WHOIS data is restricted, limiting domain ownership transparency and slightly reducing trust. Overall, the website presents a credible and professional business presence with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

LAUREA operates in the healthcare and education sectors, offering specialized services in medical and scientific learning and advocacy. Their business model focuses on service delivery through co-creation and strategic advising, targeting professional audiences in healthcare and policy. The company leverages digital content and live events to engage clients and stakeholders. The presence of LinkedIn and professional branding supports market positioning as a trusted partner. However, the lack of detailed company registration and privacy disclosures online suggests opportunities to enhance transparency and trust. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. The absence of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism also indicates compliance risks under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and display a cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing company registration details and contact phone numbers on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web technologies and integrations such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, Google Tag Manager, and Weglot for multilingual support. The site is mobile-optimized with good design quality and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites with multiple third-party scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The lack of security headers and privacy compliance features are notable technical gaps. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy implementations.
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.
