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

Center RS za poklicno izobraževanje (CPI) is a central Slovenian public institution focused on the development, research, and consultancy in vocational and professional education. Established in 1997, CPI serves educational institutions, policymakers, and stakeholders by providing qualification development, educational programs, project management, and international cooperation. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and multilingual support, targeting primarily Slovenian audiences involved in vocational education. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a custom theme, leveraging modern web standards including HTTPS, responsive design, and accessibility features. The use of jQuery and Google Fonts is noted, with moderate performance and good SEO practices. Hosting appears to be managed by Arnes, consistent with the domain registrar and institutional nature. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure form submissions. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the content or technical setup. Overall, CPI's website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations. Strategic improvements could include publishing a dedicated security policy, enhancing HTTP security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to further strengthen security posture.

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

10 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 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

  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';…

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

CPI holds a strong market position as Slovenia's authoritative institution for vocational education development. Its business model is public-sector focused, providing research, consultancy, and coordination services rather than commercial offerings. The institution benefits from long-standing domain registration and consistent branding. Partnerships with national and EU projects, as well as international cooperation, enhance its influence and reach. The website supports multiple languages and provides extensive resources, indicating a commitment to accessibility and stakeholder engagement. Revenue streams are likely government-funded, with strategic emphasis on educational quality and innovation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS and secure form handling. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The login form uses POST method but lacks visible multi-factor authentication prompts. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider multi-factor authentication for user login to increase account security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a custom theme, using jQuery 3.5.1 and Google Fonts for typography. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting responsive design and accessibility features. Hosting is likely provided by Arnes, consistent with the registrar and Slovenian academic network. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site includes comprehensive meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph, Twitter Cards). No modern JavaScript frameworks were detected, indicating a traditional web stack. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by updating libraries and improving security headers.
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.
