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

Gladeo Inc. operates an educational career navigation platform and offers career development tools and courses aimed at educators, workforce professionals, and learners. The company positions itself as an inclusive platform transforming how people discover and prepare for careers. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging standard Wix technologies and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The technical infrastructure is modern but basic, with room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced but lacks explicit security policies and headers. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, though it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance scores. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy disclosures, adding security headers, and improving accessibility and SEO.

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. 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 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

  3. 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.

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

Gladeo targets the education sector with a focus on career exploration and workforce preparation. Its business model revolves around providing a research-backed platform and courses to empower learners and educators. The company appears to be a small-sized entity based in the US with a consistent brand presence across social media channels. The lack of detailed WHOIS data suggests privacy protection, common for small businesses. The platform's market position is niche but impactful in career navigation. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The company leverages digital marketing tools like Google Analytics to track user engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies reduces GDPR compliance confidence. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security incident handling. Cookie handling scripts indicate some control over session cookies, but overall security best practices could be improved. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.
  5. Optimize SEO metadata and structured data for better search engine visibility and content clarity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Wix, utilizing Wix's proprietary CMS and infrastructure. It uses JavaScript polyfills for compatibility and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, typical for Wix-hosted sites. SEO is basic with canonical tags, Open Graph metadata, and JSON-LD structured data present but could be expanded. Accessibility is basic with no advanced ARIA roles or landmarks detected. No custom backend or advanced frameworks were identified, indicating a straightforward site architecture suitable for the business scale.
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.
