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

Afrika-Junior is an educational website operated by ScalaZ, targeting children and parents with informative content about Africa. The platform offers a variety of educational materials including articles, media content such as videos and music, quizzes, and interactive games. It positions itself as a niche non-profit educational resource with a focus on African knowledge and culture. The website is hosted on Alfahosting and built using Wolf CMS, indicating a small-scale but functional technical infrastructure. The site demonstrates basic to good digital maturity with a clean design, clear navigation, and a cookie consent mechanism, though mobile optimization and accessibility are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking advanced security headers and explicit security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site is safe, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements, though it could benefit from enhanced security practices and more comprehensive business and incident response information.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 website serves a specialized educational segment focused on African content for youth and parents, leveraging partnerships with organizations such as ScalaZ and other educational sponsors. Its business model revolves around providing free educational content and community engagement rather than commercial transactions. The presence of sponsors and partner links indicates a supportive ecosystem. The site’s market position is niche but credible within the educational non-profit sector. Growth potential lies in expanding content and improving technical and security infrastructure. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for contact via web forms, aligning with privacy-conscious practices.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and a cookie consent banner is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site would benefit from implementing additional security best practices and publishing clear security and incident response policies to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to broaden user reach and comply with best practices.
  4. Regularly update the CMS and JavaScript libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding verified contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Wolf CMS 0.7.5, a lightweight content management system suitable for small educational sites. The tech stack includes standard HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. Hosting is provided by Alfahosting, a known German hosting provider. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is basic but includes meta description and keywords. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The site uses external fonts from Google Fonts and icons from FontAwesome. There is room for modernization by adopting newer frameworks, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing accessibility 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.
