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

OrthoMedia is a UK-based specialized online platform offering on-demand orthopaedic educational videos, podcasts, and surgical training content targeted at healthcare professionals, researchers, and trainees in orthopaedics. The platform is relatively new, established in 2020, and positions itself as a niche media provider in the orthopaedic education sector. Technically, the website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, FontAwesome, QuillJS, and Splide Carousel, with media content hosted on Azure Blob Storage. Google Analytics and Google Ads are integrated for analytics and monetization purposes. The website is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and professional design, though SEO and accessibility features are basic.

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 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

  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

OrthoMedia operates a content-driven business model focused on providing specialized orthopaedic knowledge and surgical training through multimedia formats. Its market position is niche, serving orthopaedic professionals and educators. The platform likely generates revenue through subscriptions or access fees, supported by advertising via Google Ads. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and compliance. The use of a UK registrar and domain age consistent with the business history supports legitimacy. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly visible, and no related or subsidiary domains were identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure external libraries, which are positive security indicators. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact information limits the site's security maturity and readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers and transparency around security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish clear contact information including support and security incident response contacts.
  4. Enhance security by adding HTTP security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Improve SEO and accessibility features to increase reach and usability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS built on ASP.NET technology, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries for UI components and media presentation. Media content is hosted on Azure Blob Storage, indicating cloud infrastructure usage. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure. However, SEO metadata is minimal, with empty description and keywords meta tags. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA labels present. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated libraries, but security headers and privacy compliance features are lacking.
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.
