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

5 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Orthofix operates in the healthcare industry with a focus on orthopedic and spinal medical devices. Their business model centers on manufacturing and selling innovative medical solutions, supported by clinical research and medical education. The company targets surgeons, healthcare providers, and patients, emphasizing patient mobility and quality of life improvements. Their market position is strong, supported by a large company size and a long operational history. The website integrates multiple social media channels and educational resources, indicating a strategic approach to engagement and brand building. Partnerships and subsidiaries are reflected in related domains, enhancing their ecosystem. Corporate responsibility and compliance are highlighted, reinforcing their credibility and commitment to ethical practices.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized transfers or updates. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security controls. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Hotjar introduces potential risk vectors, but these are industry-standard tools with established security practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were identified in the content. Incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not explicitly present, which could be improved to enhance security readiness and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall DNS security.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure guidelines and contact channels.
  4. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response contacts to improve security communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing jQuery and several modern JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience and analytics integration. Google Tag Manager and Hotjar are used for tracking and user behavior analysis, while Iubenda manages cookie consent compliance. The site is hosted by GoDaddy.com, LLC, with domain registration dating back to 1996, indicating a stable and mature infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses responsive images and modern CSS for styling. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS security to further strengthen the technical posture.
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.
