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

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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 business operates in the finance sector, specifically credentialing and professional development for management accountants globally. The CGMA designation is positioned as a premier credential, offering competitive advantages and career advancement opportunities. The business model revolves around education, certification exams, and membership services. The target customers are U.S. CPAs and finance professionals in the Americas. The company leverages partnerships between AICPA and CIMA, two established accounting bodies, to maintain market leadership. Growth indicators include structured curriculum offerings and global recognition. The partnership ecosystem includes educational content providers and exam administrators. The company maintains a strong brand presence and trust signals through certifications and professional standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.), and cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the content. Privacy policies are GDPR compliant, and tracking is managed via reputable tools like Tealium and OneTrust. Incident response and security policies are not publicly disclosed, representing an area for improvement. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site balances user privacy and security well but could enhance incident response readiness and disclosure transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  2. Provide public incident response and security policies to increase transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including security contact channels.
  5. Investigate and clarify domain WHOIS registration details to improve legitimacy perception.

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.
