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

The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) is a reputable international non-profit organization dedicated to advancing ultrasound technology and education in the medical field. The website serves as a comprehensive resource hub offering educational materials, official guidelines, publications, and support for Centers of Excellence globally. The organization targets medical professionals, researchers, and students, positioning itself as a leading authority in ultrasound medicine and biology. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a well-structured navigation system and integration of common plugins such as Google Analytics and Slider Revolution. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with a clean and professional design that supports user engagement and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs standard domain protections, though it lacks visible advanced security policies or incident response information. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy page, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit GDPR banners suggests room for improvement. Overall, WFUMB's website reflects a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and trustworthy domain registration. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further strengthen its posture and user trust.

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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

WFUMB operates as a non-profit federation focused on healthcare education and ultrasound technology. Its market position is that of an authoritative global body providing educational content, official guidelines, and collaborative opportunities. The business model revolves around membership, partnerships, and dissemination of knowledge through publications and events. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, sponsorships, and educational program funding. The target audience includes medical professionals, educators, and students worldwide. The organization maintains partnerships with WHO and other medical societies, enhancing its credibility and reach. Growth indicators include ongoing congresses, webinars, and scholarship programs. The website content and structure support a professional and educational mission with consistent branding and trust signals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place. No DNSSEC is enabled, which is a minor gap in DNS security. The absence of visible security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The use of standard WordPress plugins and Google Analytics is noted, with no signs of outdated or insecure components. The security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but lacks some advanced security maturity indicators.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and communication.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML or scripts. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but DNS is managed via StackDNS. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility further. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected, indicating good maintenance practices.
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.
