NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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.

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.
  • Accessibility: Accessibility is a separate readout from security, so it is reported but not scored. 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 group operates in the education sector, offering a diverse portfolio of academic programs and research initiatives. Its business model relies on tuition, research funding, partnerships with industry, and executive education services. The presence of multiple campuses and international programs indicates a broad market reach. Strategic partnerships with specialized institutes and foundations enhance its ecosystem. The website's integration of marketing and analytics tools suggests active engagement in student recruitment and brand building. The group holds recognized certifications such as the Label DD&RS, underscoring its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers, reflecting adherence to best practices. Anti-spam and bot detection plugins are active, and cookie consent is managed via a GDPR-compliant mechanism. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure channels indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The security score is high but could be enhanced by publishing formal security governance documents and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user education on data privacy and security practices through visible website content.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform, leveraging a variety of plugins for functionality including multilingual support (WPML), form handling (Contact Form 7), spam protection (CleanTalk), and advanced sliders (Slider Revolution). It integrates external resources such as Google Fonts, YouTube embeds, and multiple analytics/tracking pixels (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel) managed via Google Tag Manager. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich media content and multiple external scripts. Hosting details are not explicit but the SSL and security headers indicate a professionally managed environment. Opportunities exist to streamline scripts and enhance performance further.
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.
