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

Ottobock is a well-established enterprise in the healthcare sector specializing in orthotics, prosthetics, and related mobility solutions. The company offers a broad range of products and services including prosthetics, orthotics, exoskeletons, adaptive sports programs, and veteran support. Their market position is strong, supported by a comprehensive digital presence and a global footprint. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, integrated with Contentful CMS and various analytics and marketing tools, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, a critical security issue is the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, which undermines the security posture and user trust. Privacy compliance is robust with clear policies and consent management mechanisms in place. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and user-friendly but requires urgent attention to its SSL configuration to ensure secure communications.

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

6 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

    • 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

    • 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

  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

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

Ottobock operates primarily in the healthcare industry, focusing on mobility solutions for patients with amputations, injuries, or neurological conditions. Their business model includes both B2C and B2B components, targeting patients, clinicians, and healthcare providers. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including subsidiaries like SUITX and partnerships with sites like paexo.com. Their content strategy is comprehensive, covering product information, resources, and support services, which enhances customer engagement and trust. The presence of a dedicated professionals' website and clinic locator tool further supports their market reach and service delivery. Ottobock's strategic focus on innovation and ergonomic solutions positions them well in a competitive market.

Security posture

The website implements several security best practices including strict transport security headers, content security policies, and XSS protection. However, the lack of a valid SSL/TLS certificate is a significant vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. The site does not support modern TLS protocols, lacks OCSP stapling, and session resumption features, which are critical for secure and performant HTTPS connections. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the provided data. The security score is limited by the SSL issues, but other headers and policies indicate a good security awareness. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which is a gap in transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and protect user data.
  2. Enable support for TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols and implement OCSP stapling for improved certificate validation.
  3. Regularly review and update security headers and policies to maintain strong security posture.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Continue to monitor and manage third-party analytics and marketing tools to ensure privacy compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack using Next.js and React, with Contentful as the CMS. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and consent management, including Google Analytics, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, TikTok Analytics, and Usercentrics. The site is hosted on Microsoft Azure and uses advanced content delivery and optimization techniques. Performance data is not available, but the presence of preloading and responsive images indicates attention to performance and mobile optimization. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed with proper meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and Open Graph tags. Some technical debt is evident in the missing SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS support, which should be prioritized for remediation.
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.
