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

LivaNova PLC is a global medical device company specializing in neuromodulation and cardiopulmonary products aimed at improving patient lives worldwide. The company focuses on therapeutic areas related to the head and heart, offering innovative medical devices and therapies for conditions such as epilepsy, depression, and advanced circulatory support. The website reflects a mature enterprise with a strong market position in healthcare, supported by comprehensive corporate governance and sustainability commitments. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Analytics and tracking are implemented with privacy compliance in mind. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent mechanisms, privacy policies, and terms of use. However, explicit security headers are not evident in the HTML content, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, suggesting possible privacy protection or registration issues that warrant further verification. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, but improvements in transparency around domain registration and security practices are recommended to enhance trust and security posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

LivaNova operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on medical devices for neurological and cardiopulmonary conditions. Its business model centers on manufacturing and delivering innovative therapies that address critical health issues. The company targets healthcare professionals, patients, investors, and partners globally. The presence of dedicated investor and career subdomains indicates a well-established corporate structure. The company emphasizes sustainability and compliance, which are strategic advantages in the regulated medical device industry. The website's content and linked domains suggest a strong partnership ecosystem and a commitment to corporate responsibility.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and privacy compliance is supported by detailed policies and a cookie consent mechanism. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicate areas for improvement. No direct incident response contacts or security-specific email addresses are provided, which could hinder timely reporting and response to security incidents. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency, which is a critical trust factor. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are apparent, enhancing security transparency and controls would strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness of domain registration.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard modern web technologies with a focus on performance and user experience. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a mature approach to analytics and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. However, the absence of a detected CMS or hosting provider information limits deeper infrastructure insights. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times and reduce third-party dependencies. Technical risks include reliance on external scripts and the need for enhanced security headers.
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.
