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

OrthoPedia.com is an advanced orthopedic educational platform sponsored by Arthrex, providing high-quality video and animation content tailored for clinicians, patients, and academic learners. The platform positions itself as a comprehensive resource for musculoskeletal medicine education, leveraging expert content and structured learning paths. Technically, the site is built on Webflow with modern analytics and consent management tools, offering a responsive and accessible user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent, though explicit security policies and WHOIS transparency are lacking. Overall, the site demonstrates professionalism and trustworthiness in content and design but would benefit from improved domain registration transparency and published security policies.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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
  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

The website targets healthcare professionals, patients, and academic learners in orthopedic surgery and musculoskeletal medicine. It operates as an educational service platform under Arthrex, a recognized orthopedic company. The business model focuses on content delivery and user engagement through video and animation resources. The presence of multiple subdomains and partner sites indicates a broad ecosystem supporting different user segments. The site maintains strong branding consistency and trust signals, including peer-reviewed content and privacy compliance. However, the absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers suggests reliance on web forms for communication. The missing WHOIS data is a notable gap in business credibility.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR, using OneTrust. It employs Google Tag Manager and Dynatrace for analytics, with DOMPurify for sanitization, indicating attention to security hygiene. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The overall security maturity is moderate to good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies and improving domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information with direct security or abuse contact emails.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging jQuery 3.5.1, Google Tag Manager, Dynatrace for performance monitoring, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site uses modern web standards with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and multiple images optimized for different screen sizes. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit security documentation. Hosting appears to be via Webflow's infrastructure, with CDN usage for static assets. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly educational platform.
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.
