Archimedes Foundation · Education · Estonia

High risk. 10 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Security headers and 2 other checks.

Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The Archimedes Foundation website serves as a minimal informational page indicating that as of January 1, 2021, its activities were transferred to the Estonian Education and Youth Board and the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Agency. The foundation historically managed European educational and youth programs such as Erasmus+. The website content is very limited, with no privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, and no contact information provided. Technically, the site uses basic HTML and CSS with Google Fonts, hosted under an Estonian registrar. No advanced security headers or analytics tools are detected, and the site lacks modern SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is minimal but no critical vulnerabilities are evident. Overall, the site appears to be a legacy informational page rather than an active service platform.

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

      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';…

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 Archimedes Foundation operated as a public sector entity focused on managing European educational and youth programs in Estonia. Its market position was that of a national agency facilitating Erasmus+ and related initiatives. The business model was government-funded program administration. The transfer of activities to government agencies suggests organizational restructuring. The target audience included educational institutions and youth organizations in Estonia. The foundation's domain age and WHOIS data align with its operational timeline, supporting legitimacy. Partnerships with Estonian government domains are evident. The website's minimal content and lack of interactive features indicate a low digital maturity level.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a low security maturity level with no detected security headers or incident response contacts. HTTPS status is unknown from provided data but is assumed present given modern standards. No forms or data collection reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR best practices. No vulnerability disclosures or security certifications are published. The site would benefit from implementing security headers, publishing privacy documentation, and providing incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify via external tools.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Publish contact information including security incident response channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Enhance website technical SEO, accessibility, and mobile responsiveness for better user experience.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with simple HTML and CSS, using Google Fonts for typography. There is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks. The hosting and DNS are managed by Zone Media OÜ, an Estonian registrar consistent with the domain's origin. Performance is likely moderate given the minimal content. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but could be improved. SEO is minimal with no meta description or Open Graph tags. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating limited digital marketing or user behavior analysis. The site is static and informational, with no forms or interactive elements.
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.
