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

touchDERMA is a specialized healthcare education platform focused on dermatology, providing clinical updates, conference coverage, and learning activities for healthcare professionals. Founded in 2023, it targets dermatologists and medical researchers with free access to curated medical content. The website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The site implements cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit privacy and terms of service policies in the accessible content. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no public security or incident response policies are found. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 platform occupies a niche in dermatology medical education, offering free content to healthcare professionals to enhance clinical knowledge and practice. Its business model appears content-driven with potential revenue from advertising and partnerships. The site maintains a consistent brand and strong social media presence, enhancing reach and engagement. Partnerships with related domains suggest a broader ecosystem in medical education. The recent domain registration aligns with the business founding date, indicating a new but credible venture. Lack of visible direct contact emails or phone numbers may limit direct customer engagement but is typical for content platforms.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare for DNS and registrar services, providing a secure foundation. Security headers are partially implemented, but DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor risk. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure is published, and no incident response contacts are visible, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. Cookie consent is managed via a reputable plugin, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced DNS security and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  3. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Consider adding visible company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Select2, Modernizr, and Google/Facebook marketing scripts. Performance is moderate with optimizations like lazy loading images and preloading fonts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and accessible navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Cookie consent is handled by Borlabs Cookie plugin, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Hosting and DNS via Cloudflare provide reliability and security benefits. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were detected, but DNSSEC absence and missing security headers suggest areas for technical improvement.
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.
