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

The English School is an international educational institution based in Colombia, offering a British tradition curriculum with a focus on intercultural learning, inclusion, and differentiation. The school provides comprehensive educational services including International Baccalaureate programs, early years, primary, secondary education, sports, and community services. The website positions the school as a reputable and established institution with a strong emphasis on student well-being and academic excellence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and various marketing and analytics tools. The site is mobile-optimized, uses structured data for SEO, and implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and employs privacy and cookie management plugins. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, reflecting a solid security posture with room for improvement in transparency and advanced security controls. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its educational audience effectively. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving accessibility features to further strengthen the site's security and compliance stance.

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

7 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 English School operates in the education sector, targeting students, parents, alumni, and educational professionals. It holds a strong market position as an international British tradition school offering IB programs and a comprehensive culture of excellence. The business model revolves around providing high-quality education, extracurricular activities, and community services. The school maintains partnerships with various educational organizations and service providers, enhancing its ecosystem. The website content and linked domains reflect a well-established institution with a broad service offering and active community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and use of reputable security and privacy plugins. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of security headers and incident response information indicates gaps in security transparency and defense-in-depth. The site would benefit from implementing additional security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and providing clear incident response contacts to improve readiness and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust WordPress platform using the Divi theme, integrating multiple plugins for events, forms, analytics, and marketing automation. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading for performance optimization. The site is mobile-responsive and SEO-optimized with structured data and meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource loading. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements to reduce technical debt and future-proof the infrastructure.
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.
