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"

  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

  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
    • 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

Signant Health occupies a strong market position in the healthcare technology sector, focusing on clinical trial data collection and management solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive product suite, scientific advisory boards, and proven track record supporting regulatory approvals. The company targets pharmaceutical sponsors, CROs, and biotech firms, offering tailored solutions that simplify clinical trial operations globally. Their partnership ecosystem includes dedicated support and global locations, reinforcing their operational scale. Growth indicators include continuous product innovation and a strong content marketing presence through blogs, case studies, and webinars.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some common security headers suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly disclosed security policy or incident response contact, which could be addressed to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid for a commercial website but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and formalized security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  5. Continue monitoring third-party libraries and analytics tools for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on a reliable infrastructure with Amazon Registrar and AWS DNS servers. It uses HubSpot CMS, which provides a modern and scalable platform. The tech stack includes popular libraries and services for analytics, marketing, and UI enhancements. Performance is optimized with responsive design and lazy loading of images. Accessibility features and SEO meta tags are well implemented. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated technologies. The site could enhance security by enabling DNSSEC and adding missing security headers.
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.
