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

The Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) website serves as the digital presence for a global industry association representing manufacturers of plasma-derived and recombinant analog therapies. The site provides information about the association's role, advocacy, and industry representation. The content is professionally presented, targeting healthcare professionals, regulators, and industry stakeholders. The website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations through explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA implemented, though additional security headers and published security policies could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration insights, but the website's professional content and technology use indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-structured, secure, and compliant with privacy standards, suitable for its healthcare industry audience.

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. 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

PPTA operates as an essential industry association within the healthcare sector, focusing on plasma protein therapeutics. Its business model centers on advocacy, regulatory engagement, and representing manufacturers globally. The association targets manufacturers, healthcare professionals, and regulatory bodies, positioning itself as a key industry voice. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with consistent branding and good content quality. The use of advanced consent management and analytics tools indicates a mature digital strategy. No direct revenue streams or commercial activities are evident on the site, consistent with an association model. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly listed, and no direct contact information is provided, which is typical for such organizations. The site’s external links to major platforms like Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn support its marketing and outreach efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could benefit from enhanced security controls and published policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and user trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Add explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages linked prominently to improve legal compliance and user awareness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as Finsweet attributes for enhanced UI interactions and Splide.js for sliders. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tag management, while Cookiebot manages cookie consent dynamically. Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from spam and abuse. The site loads resources from multiple CDNs including jsdelivr and Cloudflare, contributing to moderate performance. Meta tags and Open Graph data are well implemented for SEO and social sharing. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and font smoothing techniques applied. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS-specific vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and compliant web presence.
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.
