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

10 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 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. 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

      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

      • 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';…

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 university holds a solid market position in Slovenia's higher education sector, with multiple faculties and research centers. Its business model focuses on delivering quality academic programs and research activities, supported by a network of subsidiaries such as the Alma Mater Europaea Akademija za ples. The institution leverages partnerships and digital platforms to enhance student services and engagement. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on transparency, accessibility, and comprehensive service offerings, positioning the university as a reputable educational provider in the region.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of security-conscious analytics settings, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the analyzed content. The security score is high but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicly link an incident response contact or security@ email address.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options if not already implemented server-side.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to minimize potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and performant technology stack including JavaScript libraries for UI components and analytics tools. It is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no common open-source CMS detected. Hosting details are not explicit but media and scripts are served via CDN, contributing to fast load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema for organization. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing integrations, with consent mechanisms in place to comply with privacy regulations.
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.
