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

Avatud Kool is an innovative primary school based in Kalamaja, Estonia, established in 2017 with a focus on multicultural and project-based learning. The school aims to develop balanced and intelligent individuals and foster a more open and stronger society. It is recognized as a nominee for the Aasta Kool 2025 award and collaborates with the City of Tallinn to open a municipal school variant. The website reflects a small-sized educational institution with a clear mission and community engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with SEO and analytics plugins, hosted by a local Estonian registrar and hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized and well-structured, offering good user experience and content relevance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks some security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Contact information is not explicitly provided in the analyzed content, which may affect user trust and compliance. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Security headers

    • 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

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

Avatud Kool occupies a niche in the Estonian education sector as a progressive primary school emphasizing project-based and multicultural education. Its nomination for a national award indicates strong market positioning and community recognition. The business model is primarily public education with additional services such as a training center, extracurricular activities, and facility rentals. The target audience includes students, parents, educators, and local community members. The school benefits from partnerships with the City of Tallinn and support from the Civil Society Endowment, enhancing its credibility and resource base. The website supports these business goals by providing detailed program information and news updates, although it lacks direct contact channels in the analyzed content. The digital presence is modern but could be enhanced with better compliance and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness communication. Privacy compliance is insufficient, lacking privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, which is a significant gap under GDPR. No forms were detected, reducing immediate risk from input vulnerabilities, but also limiting user interaction channels. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from enhanced headers, policy disclosures, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS version 6.8.1, utilizing Yoast SEO for search optimization and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration. It uses jQuery and SVG Injector for frontend functionality. Hosting is provided by Zone Media OÜ, an Estonian registrar and hosting provider, ensuring local infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business size, though there is room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance implementation.
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.
