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

Michael Moor's personal website serves as an academic and professional platform highlighting his expertise in medical AI and machine learning. The site effectively communicates his research focus, academic appointments, and recent achievements, targeting an audience of researchers, healthcare professionals, and AI enthusiasts. The website is built on a modern static site generator (Hugo) with a clean, responsive design and integrates several well-known libraries and frameworks to enhance user experience and content presentation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and well-maintained, with minimal privacy risks due to lack of data collection mechanisms.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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.

    • 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

  3. 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';…

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 website positions Michael Moor as a leading academic in medical AI, leveraging affiliations with ETH Zurich and Stanford University to establish credibility. The business model is centered on academic research dissemination and personal branding rather than commercial activities. The site links to reputable publications and social media profiles, enhancing visibility and engagement within the scientific community. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or monetization strategies. Growth indicators include recent high-profile publications and conference presentations. The partnership ecosystem includes academic institutions and research groups, reflecting a strong network in the healthcare AI domain.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no forms or user input fields that could introduce vulnerabilities. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security hardening. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which could be a gap for handling potential security issues. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which is a concern especially under GDPR regulations. The site does not use tracking or analytics services, minimizing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Establish clear incident response contact channels to improve security readiness and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Hugo, a static site generator, ensuring fast loading times and good performance. It uses Bootstrap 3.3.7 for responsive design and layout, along with jQuery and Font Awesome for UI enhancements. Syntax highlighting is provided by Highlight.js, and MathJax is used for rendering mathematical content, indicating a focus on academic presentation. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site is hosted with HTTPS and loads external resources from reputable CDNs. There are no forms or dynamic content, reducing complexity and security risks. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from updating Bootstrap to a newer version for improved features and security. Overall, the infrastructure is robust, performant, and well-suited for an academic personal website.
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.
