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

Hello IT is an innovative programming school based in Latvia, specializing in providing step-by-step programming education to children aged 7 to 17. The website presents a clear business model focused on educational services, offering various programming courses, trial lessons, and individual classes primarily delivered via the Zoom platform. The company, HelloGroup SIA, positions itself as a niche educational provider with partnerships from reputable organizations such as Microsoft and the University of Latvia, enhancing its market credibility. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and SVG graphics, with a cookie consent mechanism implemented via CookieHub. The site is served over HTTPS with secure forms incorporating CSRF tokens, indicating a good baseline security posture. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and accessibility features. The website is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. From a security perspective, the site shows no signs of vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy and cookie consent, though terms of service and incident response information are lacking. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain registration verification. Overall, the site appears trustworthy and professionally maintained. The overall risk assessment is moderate with recommendations to enhance security headers, publish security policies, and improve accessibility and SEO metadata. These steps will strengthen the site's security posture and compliance, further boosting user trust and business credibility.

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

7 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

    • 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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Hello IT operates in the education and technology sectors, targeting young learners interested in programming. Its business model revolves around delivering structured programming courses segmented by age groups, including individual lessons and trial classes. The company leverages partnerships with established organizations to enhance its reputation and market reach. The website's content and structure reflect a focused approach to youth IT education in Latvia, with clear contact channels and online learning platforms. Growth potential exists through expanding course offerings and enhancing digital marketing efforts. The absence of social media links suggests an opportunity to broaden outreach. The company maintains a professional online presence with trust signals such as certifications and partner logos, supporting its competitive positioning in the niche educational market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling including CSRF tokens. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response information are published, which limits transparency in security management. Data protection officer contact details are not provided, and no security.txt file is found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced security controls and published policies to improve compliance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Improve SEO metadata by adding descriptive meta descriptions and keywords to increase search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript and CSS, including SVG graphics for branding. CookieHub is integrated for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. The use of Zoom as the platform for delivering classes shows integration with third-party services. Performance is moderate with preloading of CSS assets. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident from the HTML. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and SEO could enhance the overall technical quality and reduce risks.
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.
