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

Certify360 EdTech Group is a specialized provider focused on end-to-end certification through education and examination services. The company appears to target educational institutions, certification bodies, and learners, positioning itself as a niche player in the education technology sector. Founded in 2005, the business has a mature domain presence and consistent branding across its website. The website content is professional and relevant to its business model, emphasizing certification and educational services. From a technical perspective, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. The hosting provider is identified as Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is adequate with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is properly enabled with a valid SSL certificate, and the domain status includes clientTransferProhibited, which helps prevent unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected, which are areas for improvement. The site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, as well as incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which impacts compliance and trust. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and focused on its educational certification niche. The absence of privacy and security policies and contact information reduces its privacy compliance and security posture scores. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance trust and compliance.

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

6 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 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

    • 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

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

Certify360 operates in the education sector, providing certification and examination services through an EdTech platform. Its business model likely revolves around offering digital certification solutions to educational institutions and learners. The company benefits from a long-established domain, indicating stability and experience. The website's clear branding and focused content suggest a targeted approach to its market segment. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data provided. Revenue streams may include certification fees, platform subscriptions, or examination services. The lack of visible contact information and policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance, which could impact growth and market positioning.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers via clientTransferProhibited status. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No forms or input fields were detected that might require additional security controls. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add clear contact information including support and security incident contacts.
  5. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response plan to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and modern design capabilities. The tech stack includes jQuery, Google Fonts, Font Awesome, and MediaElement.js for media playback. Hosting is provided by Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, a reputable registrar. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness but has basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or marketing tools, which may limit data-driven insights. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and DNSSEC indicates areas for modernization and risk reduction.
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.
