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

9 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

      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

  2. 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';…

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

EHU occupies a niche market as an international university serving students from Belarus and the broader Eastern European region. Its competitive advantage lies in its liberal arts focus, international partnerships, and exchange programs such as Erasmus+. The business model centers on tuition-based education, research projects, and international cooperation. The university maintains a medium size with over 1400 students and a strong alumni network. Partnerships with other universities and international organizations enhance its market position. The website's content and testimonials reinforce its reputation and trustworthiness. Growth indicators include active admissions campaigns and diverse academic offerings. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency in security and incident response to further build stakeholder confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts is standard for analytics and marketing but should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. GDPR compliance is indicated through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by publishing explicit security and vulnerability disclosure policies and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including JavaScript libraries like Slick Carousel and integrations with Google Maps API, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and MailerLite for marketing automation. The site uses responsive design techniques and is optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with caching and minified CSS/JS assets observed. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, structured navigation, and content organization. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve hosting transparency and further optimize performance metrics.
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.
