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

McCoy Medical, operated by Medical Catalog Enterprises, Inc., is an established e-commerce business specializing in medical and healthcare supplies, including textbooks, apparel, and diagnostic equipment. The website targets healthcare professionals and students, offering a broad catalog of products with a focus on quality and affordability. The company highlights a long service history, although domain registration data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with legacy JavaScript libraries, indicating a need for modernization. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking modern security headers and updated libraries. Privacy compliance is basic with privacy and terms pages present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy for its niche but requires technical and security improvements to enhance trust and compliance.

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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

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 business operates in the healthcare e-commerce sector, serving a niche market of medical professionals and students. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive product catalog and long-standing market presence, supported by a parent company, Medical Catalog Enterprises, Inc. The company leverages partnerships such as with Matthews Books to enhance its offerings. Revenue streams likely include direct product sales and custom kit assemblies. The website's dated technology stack and lack of modern compliance features suggest potential growth opportunities through digital transformation and enhanced security measures.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and forms use secure postback mechanisms. However, the use of outdated jQuery 1.3.0 introduces vulnerabilities, and the absence of critical security headers like Content Security Policy and HSTS weakens defenses against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, indicating gaps in transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking cookie consent and GDPR indicators. The missing WHOIS data further impacts trust. Addressing these issues is critical to reduce risk and improve customer confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policies to reflect GDPR and other data protection regulations.
  4. Conduct a thorough security audit of the ASP.NET application and infrastructure to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to enhance legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on an older ASP.NET Web Forms framework with legacy jQuery 1.3.0 and jQuery UI 1.6, which are outdated and vulnerable. The site loads moderately fast but lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting details are not explicit, but the technology stack suggests a Windows Server environment. The site uses Google Analytics for tracking but lacks modern marketing and retargeting tools. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated, requiring modernization to improve performance, security, and user experience.
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.
