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

Medical Access Ltd operates as a specialized healthcare supplier based in the United Kingdom, focusing on medical products such as renal catheters, catheter locking solutions, PICC lines, ECG tip location devices, and paediatrics products. The company targets healthcare professionals and institutions, offering next day delivery services and demonstrating quality management through ISO 9001:2015 certification. The website content is professional but basic, with clear navigation and contact information, though lacking privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the website uses older JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.x and Fancybox 2.1.5, which may introduce security vulnerabilities. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks modern security headers and visible HTTPS confirmation in the provided data. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, outdated libraries, and missing security headers reduce the overall security posture. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming rules violations, raising concerns about domain legitimacy and registration consistency. However, the website content and business information appear credible and professional. Overall, the website scores moderately with room for improvement in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization. Strategic recommendations include updating libraries, implementing HTTPS and security headers, adding privacy and cookie policies, and clarifying domain registration details 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

8 findings 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.

    • 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

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

Medical Access Ltd holds a niche position in the UK healthcare supply market, focusing on catheter and related medical products. Their business model is B2B, serving healthcare providers with specialized medical equipment. The company leverages ISO 9001:2015 certification as a competitive advantage to demonstrate quality assurance. The presence of next day delivery services indicates a customer-centric approach to logistics. The lack of visible social media or digital marketing tools suggests a traditional or low-digital marketing footprint. The company appears small in size with no public parent or subsidiary affiliations. The website content and structure support a straightforward sales and informational platform targeting healthcare professionals.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic with notable gaps. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.x introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options weakens defense against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The WHOIS data failure and domain registration irregularities raise concerns about domain legitimacy and potential risks. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not visible, limiting preparedness for security events. Overall, the security posture requires significant improvements to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries to current, supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTPS with strong TLS configuration and verify SSL certificate validity.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  4. Deploy security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and resolve WHOIS inconsistencies to improve legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.x and Fancybox 2.1.5, which are outdated and may pose security risks. The site uses Google Fonts and external jQuery CDN from ajax.googleapis.com. There is no evidence of a CMS or modern web frameworks. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site lacks analytics and tracking tools, indicating minimal data collection. Technical debt is evident due to outdated libraries and missing security best practices. Modernization opportunities include upgrading the tech stack, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
