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

Modus Medical Devices, operating under the Modus QA brand, is a medium-sized Canadian company specializing in quality assurance products for medical physics, particularly in radiation therapy and medical imaging. The company is a subsidiary of IBA Dosimetry and offers a range of QA phantoms, software, and dosimetry tools designed to ensure accurate and effective patient treatment. Their market position is strong within the healthcare sector, targeting medical physicists and OEMs with a focus on precision and innovation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Particles.js, and Slick Carousel. It uses Azure DNS hosting and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and a professional design, though some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers were detected. There is no visible incident response or security policy published on the site. Privacy compliance is partial, with a clear privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism despite the use of tracking scripts. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with strong business credibility and good content quality. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and cookie consent would enhance the security posture and privacy compliance, further strengthening user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

Modus Medical Devices operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on quality assurance tools for medical physics. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized product line, including QA phantoms and dosimetry equipment, backed by ISO 13485 certification and a strong parent company, IBA Dosimetry. The business model is B2B, serving medical physicists, OEMs, and healthcare providers globally. Revenue streams likely include product sales, service contracts, and distributor partnerships. The company maintains a global distributor network and actively participates in industry events, enhancing market presence. Growth indicators include recent rebranding efforts and product innovation. Partnerships with IBA Dosimetry and a clear digital presence support their strategic positioning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain status flags prevent unauthorized transfers, indicating good domain security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could impact readiness for security events. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with enhanced technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Particles.js, and Slick Carousel for interactive and visual effects. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking user behavior. Hosting appears to be on Azure DNS infrastructure, suggesting reliable uptime and performance. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with Yoast SEO plugin integration. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning to reduce technical debt and improve 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.
