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. 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

  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

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 technology education sector, focusing on Continuous Product Design certification and training. It targets enterprise digital leaders and product teams, offering a free certification course to build leadership in digital product innovation. The affiliation with Quantum Metric provides credibility and market positioning. The business model centers on educational content delivery and certification, likely supporting Quantum Metric's broader product ecosystem. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital marketing approach with clear calls to action and user engagement strategies. Partnerships and related domains reinforce the business ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding certification offerings and deepening market penetration among digital transformation leaders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections such as clientDeleteProhibited. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to prevent DNS spoofing. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and no published security or incident response policies are available on the site. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. Privacy compliance is partially met with a privacy policy and terms of use, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap under GDPR and similar regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations given the use of tracking scripts.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging popular plugins like Yoast SEO for search optimization and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, MixItUp, and AOS for enhanced UI/UX. Hosting appears to be on WPEngine, a reputable managed WordPress host, ensuring good performance and uptime. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO benefits. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.
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.
