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

European Research University (ERUNI) is a non-profit educational institution based in the Czech Republic, offering accredited undergraduate, postgraduate, and lifelong learning programmes. It is affiliated as a Recognised Teaching Centre of the University of London, with research hubs in London and Amsterdam. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, built on Drupal 10, with modern web technologies and good mobile optimization. The institution targets students seeking quality education with international opportunities, emphasizing openness, inclusivity, and research engagement. Technically, the website is hosted by WEDOS Internet, a.s., uses HTTPS, and integrates Google Tag Manager and CookieHub for analytics and cookie consent management. The site is accessible without WAF or security challenges, indicating stable hosting and configuration. However, security headers are not explicitly detected, and DNSSEC is not enabled, suggesting room for improvement in DNS and HTTP security hardening. From a security and compliance perspective, the site includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies but lacks visible terms of service, security policies, or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, though the domain is relatively new compared to the founding year, indicating a recent domain registration or rebranding. Overall, ERUNI's website demonstrates a strong business credibility and digital maturity with good content quality and user experience. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, publishing security and incident response policies, and adding terms of service to improve trust and 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

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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

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

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

ERUNI operates in the education sector as a medium-sized, non-profit private university with a focus on internationalisation and research. Its competitive advantage lies in its affiliation with the University of London and its presence in multiple European cities. The business model centers on delivering accredited degree programmes and research activities. The target customers are students seeking quality higher education with international credentials. Growth indicators include a broad portfolio of study programmes and a student body of over 3,200. Partnerships with University of London and PRIGO Group enhance its market position. The website content and structure support a professional image aligned with its academic mission.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data leaks. Use of Google Tag Manager and CookieHub indicates awareness of privacy and tracking compliance. However, the absence of security headers and DNSSEC reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with opportunities for improvement in DNS security and HTTP header policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and CookieHub for cookie consent management. Hosting is provided by WEDOS Internet, a.s., with multiple name servers but DNSSEC is not enabled. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with video content and rich media assets. The technical stack is modern and maintainable but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations such as caching and security headers.
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.
