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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
ClearCourse operates in the technology sector providing software and payment solutions tailored to specific industries. Their business model focuses on integrating multiple software brands and payment services to deliver comprehensive solutions to a large customer base. The company leverages partnerships and subsidiaries such as ClearAccept for payment processing. The website content and structure indicate a well-established company with a large team (900+ employees) and significant market reach. Their target customers are businesses requiring specialized software and embedded payment platforms. The company emphasizes continuous improvement and customer-centric development. Strategic observations include a strong brand presence, diversified product offerings, and a focus on integration and customer support.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of CAPTCHA services to protect forms. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML, and no outdated or vulnerable libraries are detected. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present, which could be improved. There is no visible incident response or security contact information, which is a gap in transparency. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are not actively implemented. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security practices.
Recommendations
Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Add an active cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a proprietary or specialized CMS platform (likely multiscreensite.com) with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.7.0, skrollr for parallax effects, Google Tag Manager, and Snowplow analytics. It uses CDN-hosted assets for performance and supports PWA features. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting appears to be via CDN and cloud providers ensuring fast load times. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities for modernization include enhancing security headers and implementing more robust privacy controls.
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.
