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

USL Medical is a well-established New Zealand-based supplier of medical consumables, equipment, and protective clothing, serving a broad range of healthcare sectors including public and private hospitals, aged care, and primary care. The company offers an extensive product catalog with over 15,000 SKUs and emphasizes exceptional customer service and comprehensive medical support including training. The website reflects a mature business with consistent branding and a professional online presence. Technically, the site uses modern analytics and marketing tools, is mobile-optimized, and employs HTTPS for secure communications. However, explicit privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are not evident, and WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which limits domain registration verification. Security headers could be improved by adding explicit policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and functional, supporting a large healthcare business in New Zealand.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

  3. 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      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 Medical operates a B2B business model focused on healthcare supplies and equipment distribution in New Zealand. It maintains a strong market position with a large product range and multiple related domains indicating a diversified business ecosystem. The company targets healthcare professionals and institutions, leveraging a skilled sales and support team. The presence of QMS certification and emphasis on customer service are competitive advantages. The website supports growth through digital marketing and product catalogues but could enhance compliance transparency. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from the business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of reputable analytics and marketing scripts is noted. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could impact trust and readiness. The missing WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in header policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanism to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure minimal privacy impact and compliance with data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, Hotjar, and lazy loading libraries for images. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, leveraging Bootstrap framework conventions. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt appears low with opportunities to enhance security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
