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

Edurio is a UK-based education technology company specializing in providing unlimited school surveys and stakeholder feedback tools to schools and multi-academy trusts. Their platform enables educational institutions to gather insights from pupils, parents, and staff, supported by robust national benchmarking data. The company is well-positioned in the UK education sector, trusted by over 150 trusts and 2,000 schools, offering a comprehensive suite of survey templates, national reports, webinars, and resources to support school improvement and wellbeing. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with extensive integration of HubSpot marketing and analytics tools, including forms, messaging, and tracking. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. SEO and accessibility practices are well implemented, with structured data and Open Graph metadata enhancing search engine visibility and social sharing. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure HubSpot forms, with a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, there is a lack of explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure details. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. WHOIS data for the subdomain is unavailable, which is typical, but the main domain's legitimacy is supported by the professional web presence and trust indicators. Overall, Edurio presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly digital presence aligned with its business goals in the education sector. Strategic improvements include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies and enhancing transparency around data protection and incident response.

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.

Priority findings

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

Edurio operates a B2B SaaS business model targeting educational institutions in the UK, focusing on survey and benchmarking services. Their competitive advantage lies in offering unlimited surveys with access to the largest national education benchmarks in England, positioning them as thought leaders. The company leverages partnerships and a strong customer base of trusts and schools to drive growth. Their content strategy includes webinars, blogs, and case studies that reinforce market authority and customer engagement. The use of HubSpot indicates a mature marketing and CRM approach. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting a focused standalone operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling via HubSpot. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers and published security policies or incident response plans represents gaps in transparency and defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were found in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from implementing security.txt, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and adding security headers to enhance protection and trustworthiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but improvable.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy prominently accessible from the homepage and footer.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve legal and security transparency.
  3. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform enhanced with performance optimization via WP Rocket and rich integrations with HubSpot for marketing automation, analytics, and customer engagement. The use of Swiper.js and Fancyapps Fancybox provides a dynamic and interactive user interface. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and data collection. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with structured data implemented for SEO benefits. No hosting provider details were explicitly found, but the use of HubSpot and CDN services suggests a robust hosting and delivery infrastructure. The technical implementation is solid with room for security enhancements.
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.
