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

Odyscience is a Belgian company specializing in international business development for companies operating in the life sciences sector. With nearly 20 years of experience, they leverage a broad international network of over 5000 decision-makers in hospitals, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors to help clients expand export sales. Their services are tailored and transparent, focusing on market access, field and desk support, and full export solutions. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and the Avada theme, with good mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and published policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and branding suggest a credible business. Contact information is clearly provided, including phone, email, physical address, and a contact form.

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. 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

Odyscience positions itself as a niche service provider in the healthcare export business development market, targeting companies in life sciences seeking international growth. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive network and tailored service offerings. The business model is service-based, focusing on export facilitation and market entry support. The website highlights client trust through logos and professional presentation but lacks detailed financial or corporate structure information. The company appears small-sized and independent, with no parent or subsidiary companies mentioned. The presence of a LinkedIn profile supports professional networking and credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency in security management. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No tracking or analytics scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits business intelligence capabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better policy publication and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to improve transparency and vulnerability management.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and several common JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Slider Revolution. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern web standards. Performance is moderate with no evident blocking scripts or heavy resources. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, although structured data like JSON-LD is absent. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical stack is standard for small to medium business websites, with opportunities to enhance security and privacy features.
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.
