Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.viiv-studyregister.com appears to be related to study registration, likely in the healthcare or clinical research domain. However, the homepage content is minimal with no visible descriptive text or business information. The site uses modern frontend technologies including Gatsby, Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google reCAPTCHA v3, indicating a contemporary technical infrastructure. Despite this, there is a lack of essential business and compliance information such as privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, terms of service, and contact details, which limits the site's credibility and user trust. Security posture is moderate with the use of HTTPS and reCAPTCHA but lacks visible security headers and incident response information. WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. Overall, the site requires significant improvements in content, compliance, and security disclosures to enhance trust and professionalism.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      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';…
  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

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

The site targets users interested in study registration, possibly clinical trial participants or researchers. The business model likely revolves around providing a registry or database service for studies, but no explicit business details or market positioning are provided. The absence of contact information and corporate identifiers limits insight into the company's size, structure, or partnerships. The use of tracking and marketing tools like Tealium suggests some level of user engagement analytics, but no affiliate or advertising networks are evident. The lack of detailed business intelligence data suggests the site is either newly launched or not fully developed from a business perspective.

Security posture

Security measures include HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. 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 explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, and no security certifications or frameworks are referenced. The missing WHOIS data and lack of transparency further impact trust. There are no detected vulnerabilities in the provided data, but the site would benefit from enhanced security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add clear contact information including business address, phone number, and support email.
  3. Enhance security by adding recommended HTTP security headers and regularly auditing SSL/TLS configuration.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Obtain and display relevant security certifications or compliance attestations to strengthen credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Gatsby (a React-based static site generator), Bootstrap 4.6.2 for styling, and jQuery for legacy support. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for bot protection. The site loads multiple JavaScript bundles and uses external resources from Google Fonts, jsDelivr, and unpkg CDNs. Performance appears moderate with preloading of scripts and fonts, and the site is mobile optimized with responsive design. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal with no meta title or description tags detected. Hosting provider and CMS are not identifiable from the data. Overall, the technical stack is modern but the site lacks substantive content and SEO metadata.
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.
