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.

Priority findings

3 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 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

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

UBC operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on specialty therapies and patient access solutions. Its business model revolves around service provision to healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies, emphasizing safety and evidence generation. The company maintains a consistent brand image and uses modern web technologies to engage its audience. The absence of direct contact information on the site suggests a possible focus on B2B relationships or controlled communication channels. The use of advanced marketing tools and analytics indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and growth. The domain's longevity and registration details support the company's credibility and market stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, reflecting attention to privacy regulations. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. Enhancing these areas would strengthen the security maturity and compliance stance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance commitments.
  3. Add clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates third-party services such as HubSpot for marketing automation and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. Cookiebot is employed for cookie consent, ensuring GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities in accessibility and security headers. Hosting details are not explicit but suggest use of GoDaddy registrar and possibly Pantheon hosting. The site is mobile optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
