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

Touch Endocrinology operates as a specialized online education platform providing CME-accredited learning resources and clinical updates for endocrinologists. Established since 2006, it holds a strong market position as a leading provider in the endocrinology healthcare education sector. The website offers a rich array of content including journal articles, congress highlights, and learning activities tailored to healthcare professionals. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Borlabs Cookie for consent management, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock enabled, though DNSSEC is not yet implemented. Privacy compliance is partial with cookie consent mechanisms in place but lacking explicit privacy and terms of service pages. Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism, trustworthiness, and user experience, supported by active social media presence and advertising transparency.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  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 business targets endocrinologists and healthcare professionals, leveraging a content-driven model focused on accredited medical education and clinical updates. Revenue streams likely include sponsored content, advertising, and CME activity registrations. The company maintains partnerships with medical societies and uses editorial oversight to ensure content quality. The presence of related domains such as touchendocrinologyime.org indicates a broader educational ecosystem. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus, CME accreditation, and comprehensive content offerings. Growth indicators include regular content updates, conference coverage, and integration of advanced tracking and marketing tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and use of security plugins like Borlabs Cookie for consent management. Tracking and advertising scripts are managed with user consent, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented to secure forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options represent areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well-optimized for user experience and SEO.
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.
