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

SOPHiA GENETICS is a healthcare technology company focused on democratizing data-driven medicine by providing clinicians with real-time, actionable insights for patients with cancer and rare disorders. The company positions itself as an innovative leader in healthcare data analytics, leveraging advanced technology to improve patient outcomes. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, structured data, and integration of modern web technologies such as WordPress, Oxygen builder, and Yoast SEO. The platform supports clinicians by enabling data-driven decision-making in complex medical cases. Technically, the website is well-constructed with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though some security headers are missing. The site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR standards. However, explicit privacy policies and terms of service pages were not found in the provided content, which is a gap in privacy compliance. Security posture is generally good, but the absence of published security policies and vulnerability disclosures suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but does not negate the legitimacy indicated by the website content and social media presence. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with some minor areas for enhancement.

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

5 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
    • 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

SOPHiA GENETICS operates in the healthcare sector, specializing in data-driven medicine for oncology and rare diseases. Their business model revolves around providing software and analytics platforms to clinicians, enabling better diagnosis and treatment decisions. The company targets healthcare professionals and institutions, positioning itself as a technology leader with a strong brand presence. The website content and social media links indicate active engagement with the medical community. While no explicit revenue or partnership details were found, the use of advanced technology and enterprise-level website design suggests a large, established organization. The lack of visible contact information and privacy policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The company could benefit from publishing more detailed business and compliance information to strengthen credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable cookie consent tool (Cookiebot), indicating attention to user privacy and security. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended best practices to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and trust in healthcare technology. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual and may warrant further investigation. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing security-related documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response information to demonstrate commitment to security and compliance.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Oxygen builder and enhanced with Yoast SEO for search optimization. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and cookie consent management. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses video player components (Vime). Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit hosting provider information. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from additional security hardening and transparency regarding hosting and backend infrastructure.
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.
