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
5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
medpublico operates in the healthcare communication sector, targeting pharmaceutical and medical technology clients as well as academic and professional organizations. The business model is agency-based, offering integrated services from strategy to execution across multiple communication disciplines. The company leverages its interdisciplinary team to provide specialized expertise, which is a competitive advantage. The presence of awards and client testimonials indicates a positive market reputation. The website content and domain age align well with the company's claimed history, supporting business credibility. The company appears to focus on quality and client trust rather than volume, consistent with a small-sized agency. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content or WHOIS data.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No security policy or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of popular and updated CMS and plugins reduces risk of vulnerabilities, but no explicit vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing security-related policies.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or header.
Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. The inclusion of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates a mature approach to data-driven marketing and user behavior analysis. The site uses Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Performance appears moderate with optimized images and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses domaincontrol.com name servers, suggesting hosting or DNS management via GoDaddy or related providers. There is room for technical improvement in security headers and DNS security. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for enhancement.
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.
