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. 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

      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 platform occupies a strong position as a government-backed educational service targeting adult learners seeking flexible online training. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service and professional qualification. The extensive course catalog and collaboration with entities like Cisco Networking Academy enhance its competitive advantage. The presence of official government logos and links to related government sites reinforces trust. The platform's growth is indicated by continuous course updates and new offerings. Social media engagement and detailed legal notices further support its legitimacy and operational transparency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Use of secure contact forms and privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo) are positive indicators. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident in the HTML source and should be verified at the server level. There is no public incident response or security policy information, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the source. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance transparency and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options at the server level.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR cookie requirements.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding visible certifications or trust seals if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.2.2 using the Flatsome theme and several plugins including Contact Form 7 and Pojo Accessibility. It uses jQuery 3.6.4 and loads assets from CDN providers like jsDelivr. Matomo analytics is integrated for user tracking. The site enforces HTTPS via a JavaScript redirect and includes accessibility tools. Performance is moderate with some prefetching and lazy loading of images. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. No hosting provider information is directly available from the HTML source.
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.
