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

USL Equipment is a New Zealand-based supplier specializing in medical equipment with a broad product range exceeding 2,500 SKUs across more than 30 categories. Their clientele includes public and private hospitals, aged care facilities, GP clinics, and community nursing sectors. The company emphasizes innovation, exemplary customer service, and in-house servicing capabilities, positioning itself as a trusted and established player in the healthcare supply market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to healthcare providers. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Facebook SDK, and Bootstrap, ensuring good mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure login forms, though lacking some security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is limited with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is an area for improvement. WHOIS data is missing, raising some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the website content and business presence appear legitimate. Overall, the site demonstrates a good balance of business credibility and technical implementation with room for enhanced privacy and security practices.

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

6 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

USL Equipment operates in the healthcare sector as a B2B supplier and service provider of medical and surgical equipment in New Zealand. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive product range, continuous innovation sourcing, and strong customer support including training and in-house servicing. The business targets healthcare institutions such as hospitals, clinics, and aged care facilities, indicating a specialized market focus. The presence of multiple related domains suggests a broader corporate group with diversified healthcare-related services. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to support its online presence but lacks comprehensive privacy disclosures. Growth indicators include a large SKU count and multiple product categories. Strategic partnerships with sister sites enhance their market reach. The business model is primarily product supply complemented by service and support offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure login forms protected by CSRF tokens. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness communication. Privacy compliance is minimal with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may expose the company to regulatory risks. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the security posture is adequate for business operations but would benefit from enhanced security headers, privacy disclosures, and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, Bootstrap CSS framework, and lazy loading libraries for images. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. The CMS or hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for organization schema enhancing 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.
