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

Education Bridge is an education consultancy and overseas admission agency specializing in facilitating international students' access to affordable higher education in Europe, particularly Latvia. The company offers personalized admission management, visa guidance, accommodation arrangements, and pre-interview preparation services. Their market position is focused on providing comprehensive support to students and universities, leveraging a network of sub-agents and marketing tools. The website reflects a small-sized business with a clear target audience of international students seeking European university programs. Technically, the website employs a variety of modern analytics and marketing technologies including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Yandex Metrika, and Elfsight widgets. It uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and a proprietary or custom platform for content management. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or incident response information, which are gaps in compliance and security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with moderate security and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in publishing privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, and providing incident response contacts would strengthen the security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

6 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

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

Education Bridge operates in the education sector as an essential entity providing overseas education consultancy services. Their business model centers on assisting international students with university admissions, visa processing, and accommodation in Europe. The company leverages partnerships with universities and sub-agents to source students and represents universities at international education fairs. Their revenue streams likely include service packages and admission fees. The website indicates a focus on Latvia and surrounding European countries, targeting international students. The presence of a product shop suggests packaged services or offerings. The company maintains a consistent brand and provides clear contact information, supporting credibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. The lack of published privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts without visible consent mechanisms may pose privacy risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Yandex Metrika, and Elfsight widgets for analytics and marketing. It is built on a proprietary or custom platform named WebPlatform, with responsive design and mobile optimization. The site loads multiple external scripts asynchronously to improve performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for local business information. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved for better inclusivity. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
