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

    • High

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn

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

  2. 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

    • High

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 company leverages a network of regional partner sites under the Educatius Group umbrella, indicating a broad international presence. Its market positioning as a leading high school program specialist suggests competitive advantages in expertise and network reach. The business model likely generates revenue through consultancy fees and program placements. The website's content and structure reflect a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on education sector compliance and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and security headers, enhancing data protection and user trust. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating GDPR compliance. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not published, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with best practices and broaden user inclusivity.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Select2, and Swiper for UI components. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO Premium plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) is implemented for rich search results. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, ensuring usability across devices. The site integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Technical risks are minimal but ongoing maintenance of third-party libraries is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
