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

CTM Academy is a well-established Czech non-profit organization focused on providing individualized academic programs and international education preparation for children and students from early school age through high school graduation. The organization offers a comprehensive suite of services including online courses, Advanced Placement exam preparation, and study abroad support, positioning itself as a leader in talent development within the Czech educational landscape. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with strong trust signals such as testimonials and reputable partner logos. Technically, the website employs a mature technology stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, integrated with cookie consent mechanisms and reCAPTCHA for form security. While the site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, some legacy JavaScript libraries pose potential security risks. The site uses HTTPS and standard security headers but lacks a published security policy or incident response information. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good baseline practices such as encrypted connections and consent-based tracking but would benefit from modernizing its JavaScript dependencies and enhancing transparency around security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain registration data aligns well with the organization's profile, supporting legitimacy. Overall, CTM Academy's website is a secure, professional, and content-rich platform that effectively supports its educational mission. Strategic improvements in security policy publication and technical updates would further strengthen its security posture and trustworthiness.

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.

Priority findings

11 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

  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 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

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

CTM Academy occupies a strong niche in the Czech education sector, targeting motivated students and parents seeking advanced academic opportunities and international credentials. Its non-profit model is supported by partnerships with foundations, schools, and international organizations such as College Board. The business leverages online and offline programs to deliver flexible learning paths, including AP exam facilitation which is recognized by Czech universities. The organization's growth is evidenced by over 9,000 participants and a broad partner ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include course fees and grants, while strategic partnerships enhance credibility and reach. The website content and partner listings indicate a mature operation with a clear focus on quality education and talent development.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced, use of reCAPTCHA on forms, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, the presence of outdated JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.0 and jQuery Migrate 1.2.1 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is available. Security headers are minimal but include cache control directives. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by updating dependencies, publishing security policies, and implementing advanced headers like Content Security Policy.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery and jQuery Migrate, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to reduce risks from cross-site scripting and other injection attacks.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance and security.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more detailed data retention policies to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform developed or maintained by MagicHouse s.r.o., utilizing a combination of jQuery, jQuery UI, and Slick Carousel for UI components. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, all loaded asynchronously to optimize performance. The site uses Google Fonts and is mobile responsive with viewport meta tags and media CSS. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The presence of legacy JavaScript libraries indicates technical debt and potential security risks. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses HTTPS with appropriate cache control headers but lacks advanced security headers such as CSP. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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.
