The Society of Radiographers (SoR) is a UK-based professional body and trade union representing the diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy workforce. It provides professional support, career development resources, employment advice, and organizes events and conferences to support its members. The organization maintains a strong market position within the healthcare sector in the UK, targeting radiography professionals and students. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content and member-focused services. Technically, the website is built on the Kentico CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and demonstrates good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent but lacks visible HTTP security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for professional organizations, and the domain appears actively maintained. Overall, the SoR website is a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained platform that effectively serves its target audience. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would further enhance its security posture and trustworthiness.

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. 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 2 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  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

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 Society of Radiographers operates as a professional membership organization and trade union within the UK healthcare sector, specifically serving radiography professionals. Its competitive advantage lies in its dual role as both a professional body and union, offering comprehensive support including policy guidance, career development, education, and employment representation. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and event registrations. The target customer segments are radiographers, radiotherapy professionals, students, and healthcare managers. The organization has a strong partnership ecosystem, notably with the College of Radiographers. Growth indicators include active event programming, digital resource expansion, and member engagement initiatives. The website content and structure reflect a mature and stable operation with a clear focus on member services and professional development.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks several HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended best practices. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and security culture. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's risk profile but could be enhanced by adopting additional security controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Kentico CMS platform, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site includes accessibility features such as font size and contrast controls, indicating attention to inclusive design. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and resource management. The technical stack is modern and well-supported, but the absence of certain security headers and incomplete WHOIS data indicate areas for technical improvement. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with structured data and Open Graph tags implemented for enhanced search engine and social media integration.
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.
