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

touchINFECTIOUS DISEASES operates a specialized online platform delivering accredited continuing medical education (CME) focused on infectious diseases. The platform offers a range of educational content including journal articles, conference coverage, and learning activities designed to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes. The business targets healthcare professionals and clinicians seeking up-to-date infectious disease knowledge. The website is built on WordPress, leveraging modern web technologies and integrates multiple tracking and advertising tools to support its business model. Hosting and domain services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring reliable performance and security. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though improvements such as DNSSEC and explicit security policies are recommended.

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

2 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. 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 healthcare education, focusing on infectious diseases CME. Its competitive advantage lies in accredited content developed with expert faculty and education partners, supported by a strong digital presence and integration with established publishing workflows (e.g., editorialmanager.com). Revenue likely derives from advertising and sponsored content. The target market includes clinicians and researchers globally, with content accessible in English. The partnership ecosystem includes media companies and publishing platforms, enhancing content quality and distribution. Growth indicators include recent content updates and active social media engagement. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance compliance transparency and security disclosures to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, Cloudflare DNS and registrar services, and clientTransferProhibited domain status. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security.txt, and explicit security headers indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure policies may limit rapid response capabilities. Compliance gaps exist regarding GDPR documentation and privacy policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and expose security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including a security.txt file.
  5. Review and optimize cookie consent mechanisms and data retention policies for full privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Select2, Modernizr, and various plugins for social login and cookie management. It uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Twitter tracking for analytics and advertising. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata. Performance is moderate, with caching enabled via WP Rocket. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular updates to avoid vulnerabilities. The site lacks explicit security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for further hardening.
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.
