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

Signum is a specialized life science consulting firm focused on providing data-driven consulting and solutions to the Nordic pharmaceutical market. Their key services include market access, market research, and real-world evidence insights, positioning them as a niche player in the healthcare consulting sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear messaging targeted at pharmaceutical companies and stakeholders in the Nordic region. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, and Google Tag Manager. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility considerations, though some advanced security headers are missing. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism with detailed cookie categorization. However, DNSSEC is not enabled and several recommended security headers are absent, which could be improved to enhance security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained with good privacy compliance. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business claims. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing explicit security and incident response policies to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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. 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

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

Signum operates in the healthcare consulting sector with a focus on Nordic pharmaceutical companies. Their competitive advantage lies in specialized expertise in market access and real-world evidence, catering to a niche market. The business model is consultancy-based, providing tailored insights and solutions. The company appears small in size with a focused target audience. The presence of a LinkedIn company page and professional website indicates a growth-oriented and credible operation. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers for analytics and marketing. The website content and metadata suggest a clear market positioning with emphasis on data-driven decision making. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled lead generation approach via contact forms. The company maintains GDPR compliance and transparent cookie policies, which is important for their European clientele.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent gaps that could be exploited. No incident response or security policy documents are publicly available, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found, and no vulnerable libraries were detected in the scanned scripts. The use of reputable third-party services like Google Analytics and Microsoft forms is managed with privacy policies linked. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small consulting firm but could be improved with additional controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic penetration testing to identify and remediate security gaps.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with common plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Ajax Search Pro for enhanced search functionality. Google Tag Manager is implemented for analytics and marketing tag management. Images are optimized using Optimole, improving load times. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and clear navigation. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) are well implemented, supporting search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and advanced accessibility compliance. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the scripts loaded.
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.
