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

Royal Surgical Associates operates as a specialized healthcare staffing agency focusing on locum tenens roles nationwide, particularly for CRNAs and APPs. The company positions itself as a trusted partner for healthcare facilities seeking temporary staffing solutions and for healthcare professionals seeking career opportunities. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with Elementor and optimized for SEO using Yoast, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Structured data is implemented to enhance search engine visibility. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and presentation suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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

7 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 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';…

  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

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 company targets healthcare facilities and professionals in the locum tenens market, a niche but growing segment in healthcare staffing. Its business model revolves around recruitment and placement services, generating revenue through staffing contracts. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a medium-sized business profile. The lack of detailed company founding information or parent/subsidiary relationships limits deeper business intelligence. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Yoast SEO indicates investment in marketing and analytics. The company appears to maintain a focused market position with specialized services, but further verification of domain registration and contact information is recommended to strengthen credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security were detected in the provided data, representing a missed opportunity to harden security. No visible incident response or security policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential compliance gaps, especially regarding GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified, and forms appear standard without visible security issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better header implementation, policy transparency, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance website security.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, including a security.txt file, to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility, including dedicated security and data protection officer contacts, to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. External resources include Font Awesome for icons and Google Fonts for typography, contributing to a professional appearance. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. Performance appears moderate with preloading of key fonts and images. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements evident. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks advanced security headers and some compliance-related pages, which are technical gaps. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and professional web presence but has room for security and compliance enhancements.
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.
