Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

75/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Vastian operates MediaLab, a cloud-based quality management system designed to simplify compliance for laboratories and healthcare systems. The platform integrates various quality initiatives into a unified solution, trusted by leading US clinical labs and hospitals. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with modern technologies and strong branding, emphasizing ease of use and regulatory readiness. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and recognized certifications such as SOC2 Type 2, FedRAMP, and HIPAA compliance, though explicit security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is limited by the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency on privacy and domain registration details.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Vastian targets healthcare laboratories and hospitals with a SaaS model focusing on quality management and compliance. Their market position is strong, serving top-tier US labs and health systems. The business model revolves around providing configurable, cloud-based solutions that streamline documentation, competency management, and audit readiness. The company leverages partnerships and certifications to build trust and competitive advantage. Marketing efforts include multiple analytics and retargeting tools, indicating a data-driven growth strategy. The absence of explicit contact details and WHOIS data suggests a need for improved transparency to support credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses recognized security certifications, indicating a commitment to data protection and compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses secure forms and modern libraries without known issues. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly link a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Verify and publish domain WHOIS information or ensure domain registration is properly configured to improve trust.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  5. Publish security policy and incident response procedures to demonstrate readiness and transparency.

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.
