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

Sacred Heart Greenwich is a well-established independent Catholic school serving Pre-K through Grade 12 girls, with a strong emphasis on college preparatory education and holistic student development. The school is part of a global Sacred Heart network, which enhances its market position and brand trust. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive academic and extracurricular offerings, targeting families seeking quality education in the Greenwich, Connecticut area. Technically, the site uses modern analytics and tracking tools, is built on the Finalsite CMS platform, and is hosted with Cloudflare services, ensuring good performance and security. However, there are gaps in privacy compliance, notably the absence of a visible privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, which could expose the institution to regulatory risks. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and tracking protections, but explicit security headers are missing, and no incident response or security policy information is provided. Overall, the website is credible and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

6 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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 school operates in the education sector with a focus on independent, all-girls Catholic education. Its business model is tuition-based private schooling supplemented by alumnae engagement and fundraising. The institution leverages partnerships for summer programs, athletics, and online services, indicating a mature ecosystem. The presence of a global network affiliation provides competitive advantage and brand strength. The website's content and navigation support effective communication with prospective and current families, alumni, and staff. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and a robust calendar of events. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve compliance and security posture to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable analytics and tracking services. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible security or incident response policies or contacts are published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap that could lead to regulatory scrutiny. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing policies, and enhancing user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Add a visible security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic performance optimization to improve user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Finalsite CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics (both UA and GA4), and Facebook Pixel. It integrates social media feeds via Juicer.io and uses Cloudflare for CDN and security services. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features like skip links. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of some security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms indicates areas for modernization. The infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for the institution's needs.
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.
