The company operates a professionally designed website built on WordPress with WooCommerce and Elementor, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. The website is accessible, mobile-optimized, and integrates Google Analytics with opt-out capabilities, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity.

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

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 company targets individuals and organizations seeking training and development services, positioning itself as a niche certified training provider with a global reach. The business model focuses on delivering certified training and consultation, supported by a small-sized organizational structure founded in 2021. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, with consistent branding and trust indicators such as company registration number. The technical ecosystem includes popular CMS and e-commerce platforms, facilitating scalability and user engagement. However, the lack of visible contact details and formal policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and uses Google Analytics with an opt-out mechanism, demonstrating basic security awareness. Nonetheless, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, no visible security or incident response policies, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms highlight areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is moderate, but enhancing security headers and formalizing security policies would strengthen the overall posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add explicit contact information including company email and phone numbers to enhance trust and customer support.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish a security policy and incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) to improve incident handling readiness.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and Elementor for page building, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics for interactivity and analytics. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy.com, LLC, consistent with the domain registrar. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by All in One SEO plugin with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is room for technical improvements in security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
