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

4 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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

Nua Healthcare operates in the healthcare sector, providing a range of services including residential care, supported living, day and community outreach, and specialized programs like CLaD Hubs and Mobile Sensory Units. The company targets vulnerable populations in Ireland and emphasizes quality, compliance, and community integration. Their business model is service-oriented with a medium-sized organizational scale. The website indicates active engagement with stakeholders through social media and a blog/news section. Partnerships with service providers like Sika Media for website development are noted. The company maintains a transparent approach with clear contact information and policy disclosures.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. Security best practices include the use of scripts to harden fetch and XHR requests, reducing attack surface. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional header implementations and documented security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an explicit security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing data protection officer contact details if applicable.
  5. Develop a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging React 18 and various Wix apps such as Wix Pro Gallery, Wix Blog, and Wix Forms. It uses modern image formats like AVIF for optimized performance. The site is responsive and includes accessibility features like skip-to-content buttons and focus management. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The technical stack is well-integrated with Wix's ecosystem, providing a stable and maintainable infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve SEO optimization and implement advanced security headers to reduce risk.
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.
