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

Nordhealth Oy operates the Nord Design System website, providing a comprehensive design system tailored for healthcare and veterinary software development. The company, founded in 2021 and based in Finland, offers a suite of design tokens, web components, CSS frameworks, themes, iconography, and Figma toolkits to enable coherent and efficient software design and development. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, targeting software developers and designers in the healthcare sector. The market position is niche but well-defined, focusing on specialized design solutions for healthcare and veterinary applications. Technically, the website is built using the Eleventy static site generator, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure, and employs modern web technologies including JavaScript ES modules and service workers. The site is optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, with good SEO practices. Analytics are implemented via Fathom Analytics, emphasizing minimal user tracking and privacy. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and domain registration protections such as client update, delete, and transfer prohibitions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers were detected. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a notable gap. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong professional and trustworthy presence with a solid technical foundation. The main risks relate to privacy compliance and security header implementation. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance 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 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

    • 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

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

Nordhealth Oy is positioned as a specialized provider of design systems for healthcare and veterinary software markets. Their business model revolves around offering reusable UI components, design tokens, and tooling to streamline software development in regulated healthcare environments. The company leverages open collaboration via GitHub and community engagement through Slack channels. Their revenue streams likely include enterprise licensing or consulting around their design system. The target customers are healthcare software developers and designers seeking consistent and compliant UI solutions. The company shows growth potential through continuous updates and community contributions. Partnerships appear limited but focused on ecosystem development. The company maintains a transparent and consistent brand identity aligned with its Finnish roots and healthcare focus.

Security posture

The security posture of the Nord Design System website is moderate to good. The use of HTTPS and domain registration protections are positive indicators. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the defense-in-depth level. No forms collecting sensitive data are present, minimizing attack surface. The site does not expose sensitive information or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Incident response and security policy documentation are not found, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance. Privacy compliance is weak, with no GDPR-related disclosures or cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure for informational purposes but would benefit from enhanced security headers and privacy documentation to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including support and security incident contacts.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern static site generator (Eleventy) with a clean and performant front-end using ES modules and service workers. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, indicated by DNS servers. The site uses Fathom Analytics for privacy-focused tracking. The design is responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter cards. No CMS or dynamic backend detected, reducing complexity and attack surface. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. The WHOIS data is consistent and transparent, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
