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

  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

  3. 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';…

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

Quantify Research positions itself as a key player in the healthcare research sector, particularly in the Nordic markets. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience with Nordic real-world data and a multidisciplinary team including ex-payers and modeling experts. The business model revolves around providing specialized research and consultancy services to pharmaceutical companies, academia, and public institutions. Their revenue streams likely include project-based research, data analytics services, and strategic advisory. The company targets a niche but critical segment of the healthcare industry, emphasizing quality, local expertise, and regulatory knowledge. Their partnership ecosystem includes academic and clinical experts, enhancing their market credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. There is no public incident response or security policy information, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but would benefit from additional security hardening and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information with direct phone numbers and physical addresses to improve trust and accessibility.
  5. Consider implementing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Avada theme, incorporating advanced features such as Revolution Slider for dynamic content presentation. It leverages multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Google Analytics, HubSpot scripts, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features and SEO optimization including structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. Performance appears moderate, with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. The technical infrastructure is robust, supporting a professional and engaging user experience, though some optimization opportunities remain in security headers and performance tuning.
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.
