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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Edublogs occupies a leading position in the educational technology sector, focusing on providing blogging and website tools for teachers and students. Its business model includes free accounts with basic features and paid Pro plans for enhanced capabilities, alongside custom solutions for schools and universities via CampusPress. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem and a global user base exceeding 5 million blogs. Its competitive advantage lies in education-specific features, privacy focus, and institutional trust. The parent company, Incsub, LLC, supports multiple related brands, enhancing market reach and operational stability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The presence of SOC 2 Type II certification further underscores its commitment to security and privacy. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not visibly declared in the HTML content, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, suggesting room to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve incident response transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance public documentation on incident response procedures and security policies.
  5. Continue to monitor and maintain SSL/TLS configurations and certificate validity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress multisite platform with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA, and Cookiebot. Hosting and DNS are managed via Amazon Registrar and Cloudflare respectively, ensuring reliable infrastructure. The site demonstrates fast performance, excellent mobile optimization, and good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured content. The use of custom plugins and themes tailored for education enhances functionality but requires ongoing maintenance to avoid technical debt. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust and scalable educational platform.
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.
