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

Artek is a well-established international children's center based in Russia, operating since 1998. The website reflects an educational and cultural institution targeting children, youth, educators, and parents. The business model is consistent with a government or non-profit educational organization providing youth development programs. The domain registration data aligns with the website's claims, indicating a legitimate and consistent presence. Technically, the website uses modern frontend technologies such as Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, providing a responsive and visually appealing user experience. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. No advanced analytics or tracking technologies were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious or minimal tracking approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, which could be improved. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap, especially regarding GDPR. The domain's WHOIS data shows no privacy protection and is consistent with the organization's identity, enhancing trust. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and credible but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security best practices, and clearer contact information to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

Artek holds a strong market position as a government-affiliated educational institution with a long history since 1998. Its competitive advantage lies in its international recognition and focus on children's education and cultural exchange. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on youth development programs. The target customers are children, parents, and educators. There is no evidence of revenue streams from commercial activities on the website. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed. Strategic observations suggest a stable institution with opportunities to modernize compliance and security practices to align with international standards.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, but the lack of security headers and published security policies indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests limited incident response readiness. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR and other regulations. The security culture appears basic, with no visible advanced security measures or certifications.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information, including security and incident response contacts.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities and improve overall security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack using Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, which supports responsive design and good user experience. Hosting appears to be managed via RU-CENTER, a Russian registrar, with no DNSSEC enabled, which could be a risk factor. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimizations are minimal but present. There is an opportunity to enhance technical infrastructure by enabling DNSSEC, improving accessibility, and implementing SEO best practices to increase visibility and security.
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.
