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

The website cilm.ro represents the language center affiliated with Universitatea Transilvania din Brașov, offering foreign language courses and exam preparation for recognized certifications such as TOEFL, Cambridge, IELTS, DELF, DALF, and SPRACHDIPLOM. The business targets individuals seeking language proficiency certifications and language learning in the Brașov region. The site is professionally designed with clear academic branding and detailed information about courses and instructors, including links to university profiles. Technically, the site uses a modern Bootstrap framework with jQuery, is mobile responsive, and has good SEO practices, though it lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS assumed but no DNSSEC or security headers detected. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal user tracking. The domain is well-established since 2010 and registered through a Romanian registrar, consistent with the educational nature of the site. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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

      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

CILM operates as an educational service under the umbrella of Universitatea Transilvania din Brașov, focusing on language education and certification preparation. Its market position is that of a specialized university-affiliated language center with a small but focused audience. Revenue likely derives from course fees and certification exam fees. The partnership ecosystem includes the parent university and its faculties. The business model is straightforward, relying on modular course enrollment and certification testing. Growth indicators include ongoing course offerings and updated content. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms, typical for academic institutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data. No DNSSEC is enabled, which is a recommended best practice for domain security. The absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not use analytics or tracking scripts, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational educational site but could be improved to meet higher standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a cookie policy and implement a consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  4. Add visible contact emails and/or phone numbers for better user trust and communication.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance security culture and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap CSS and jQuery 3.6.1 slim, indicating a modern and responsive front-end framework. The HTML is well structured with proper meta tags for SEO and viewport settings for mobile optimization. No CMS or backend technologies are detected from the HTML content. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts or external dependencies beyond Bootstrap and jQuery. Accessibility is basic but present with alt attributes on images and semantic HTML elements. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. The site could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy features.
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.
