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. 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 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

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 company operates in the education sector focusing on management training and consulting. Its business model revolves around delivering specialized courses and certification preparation, targeting project managers, executives, and organizations. The long domain age and client testimonials indicate stable market presence. Partnerships such as with managerport.sk enhance its ecosystem. The use of recognized certifications like PRINCE2® and IPMA® adds competitive advantage. The company appears small but professional, with a clear focus on quality and client satisfaction.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized transfers or updates, indicating good domain security hygiene. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no advanced security headers were detected, which could improve protection against certain attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which is a gap in security transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF or advanced input validation details are visible. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with a combination of Bootstrap, jQuery, FontAwesome, and Ionicons for UI and interactivity. The site is mobile responsive and loads scripts asynchronously where possible. Performance is moderate, with some legacy scripts and inline JavaScript present. SEO is basic with meta viewport and content-type tags but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA and semantic HTML but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
