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

International Education Society Ltd. operates the website ies-info.com, providing international certification services for educational institutions and individual graduates. The company positions itself as a credible partner for professional development and educational quality assurance, offering certifications such as IES and ICI. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and targets educational institutions and professionals seeking certification to enhance their market competitiveness. Technically, the site uses ProcessWire CMS and integrates modern analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-compliant privacy policy indicates a good level of privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, though the absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy, but the overall business presence and content quality support a moderate trust level. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving transparency around domain registration.

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

8 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, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, 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

IES Info operates in the education sector, focusing on certification services that validate educational quality and professional competencies. Their business model revolves around providing internationally recognized certificates to schools and graduates, enhancing their employability and institutional reputation. The company maintains a network of partner institutions and leverages social media channels for outreach. The multilingual website supports a broad European audience, indicating a regional market focus. The partnership with a web agency (krejta.cz) suggests professional digital marketing support. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site may limit immediate customer engagement but is mitigated by contact forms. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with a specialized niche in education certification.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could hinder effective communication in case of security incidents. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits transparency and community engagement on security matters. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found during analysis. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve customer trust and communication.
  5. Monitor and update WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the ProcessWire CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, and Fancybox for media display. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, alongside Facebook Pixel and Seznam Sklik for advertising and retargeting. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and tracking pixels. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
