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

Akelius Languages Online GmbH operates an online language learning platform offering courses in multiple languages including English, French, German, and others. The platform targets language learners and provides mobile applications available on Google Play and Apple App Store, positioning itself as a niche education provider. The website is built using modern web technologies such as Angular and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity to monitor user engagement and performance. From a technical perspective, the website demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. However, there is room for improvement in SEO and performance optimization. Security posture is moderate; while cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, there is no visible security policy or incident response information, and security headers are not detected in the provided data. Overall, the website appears legitimate and trustworthy with consistent WHOIS registration data matching the business claims. The absence of critical security issues and the presence of privacy compliance elements such as a cookie banner and privacy policy contribute positively to the risk assessment. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and improving contact information transparency to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

8 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

Akelius Languages Online GmbH operates in the education sector, focusing on online language learning. The business model revolves around providing language courses accessible via web and mobile platforms. The company targets individual language learners seeking flexible and accessible language education. The presence on major app stores and social media platforms indicates an active digital marketing strategy. The company maintains a consistent brand image and offers a clear value proposition through multiple language options. No direct revenue streams or pricing models are disclosed in the analyzed content. The company appears to be small-sized and based in Germany, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The partnership ecosystem is limited to social media and app store platforms.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the website is moderate. The site uses HTTPS (implied by external scripts loaded over HTTPS) and implements cookie consent mechanisms, indicating awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but not fully documented. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in formalizing security and incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance measures.
  3. Add incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed cookie and data retention policies.
  5. Improve transparency and trust by including terms of service and data protection officer contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Angular 18.2.13, a modern and widely used front-end framework, indicating a contemporary technical infrastructure. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and supports multiple languages. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or SPA architecture. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Technical risks include the lack of visible security headers and incomplete privacy documentation, which could impact compliance and security posture. Opportunities exist to improve SEO, accessibility, and security configurations to enhance overall digital maturity.
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.
