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

Jahan University is an educational institution based in Afghanistan, offering a range of undergraduate and graduate programs including medical education. The website serves as a portal for academic information, admissions, and research activities. The university positions itself as a leading national academic institution with a focus on teaching, research, and public service. The technical infrastructure is based on a React single-page application hosted behind Cloudflare, providing moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which impacts compliance and user trust. Overall, the website is functional but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

11 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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  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 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';…

  4. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention edu.af, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for edu.af right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The university operates in the education sector targeting students and academic professionals primarily in Afghanistan. It offers diverse academic programs and maintains multiple subdomains for specialized services such as MIS, LMS, and medical faculty. The business model is centered on higher education and research services. The domain age and registration data align with the institution's founding date, supporting legitimacy. The presence of multiple academic programs and research initiatives indicates a medium-sized institution with growth potential. Partnerships appear limited to internal subdomains and a Facebook presence. The lack of explicit contact details and policies may limit user engagement and trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS services, which provide a baseline of security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and similar regulations. No forms or input fields were detected on the main page, reducing immediate attack surface but also limiting user interaction. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for support and inquiries.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, indicating a modern JavaScript framework for frontend development. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site uses deferred JavaScript loading and includes a manifest for PWA capabilities. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no Open Graph or structured data detected. No CMS is identified, suggesting a custom or static site build. The technical stack is modern but could be enhanced with improved SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
