74/100

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

Univo IRB operates as a specialized institutional review board service provider focused on enhancing patient participation and simplifying clinical trial approvals through modern technology and supportive solutions. The company targets clinical researchers and patients, positioning itself as a patient-centric IRB with a mission to unify patients and research. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses a modern WordPress-based technology stack with SEO and analytics integrations. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and security policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly that impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the site presents a credible healthcare service business with room for improvement in transparency and security disclosures.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • 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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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 company leverages a service-based business model focusing on IRB review, IBC services, training, consulting, and proprietary technology (OneVerse). It serves a niche healthcare market with a focus on patient advocacy and clinical trial efficiency. The website content and structured data reflect a medium-sized organization founded around 2018. The firm maintains active social media presence and uses marketing and analytics tools to support growth and engagement. The lack of visible company contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests reliance on contact forms for communication. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, and no incident response contacts are published. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could affect overall trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header policies and publish security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages linked prominently on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy or security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by adding verified company emails and phone numbers for better transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Yoast SEO plugin, Google Tag Manager, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. It uses Typekit fonts and Slick Slider for UI components. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some preloading and lazy loading techniques. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics, fonts, and consent management. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with opportunities to improve security headers and domain registration transparency.
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.
