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

9 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      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

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

Unicancer operates as a healthcare federation specializing in oncology, providing treatment, research, and patient care services. Its competitive advantage lies in being the sole dedicated cancer hospital network in France, with a large professional workforce and active clinical research programs. The business model centers on collaboration among cancer centers, research promotion, and patient-centered care. Revenue streams likely include healthcare services, research funding, and training programs. The target customers include cancer patients, medical professionals, and researchers. The organization has a strong partnership ecosystem and a clear strategic vision focused on innovation and excellence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. However, some common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected and should be implemented to enhance protection. Incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not visible, which could be improved to strengthen security culture and readiness. Overall, the site shows good security hygiene but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response communication.
  3. Enhance visibility of security and incident response contact channels on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a robust set of modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for sliders, GSAP for animations, and SweetAlert2 for alerts, indicating a rich interactive user experience. SEO is optimized using Yoast SEO plugin, and fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. The site uses AJAX for search functionality and employs cookie consent scripts for compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is well-maintained but could improve by adding advanced security headers and optimizing script loading for performance.
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.
