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
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"
This scan found 18 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company targets educational institutions and corporate clients seeking HR diagnostics and development solutions. Their business model revolves around consulting services, training, and online testing platforms. The presence of partner domains and client logos indicates a well-established ecosystem. The firm leverages digital marketing tools like HubSpot forms and Matomo analytics to engage and analyze visitors. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and active content channels such as blogs and webinars. The company maintains a medium-sized profile within the education sector in Germany.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with Cloudflare DNS, indicating good baseline security. Cookie consent is implemented, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS) and published security or incident response policies suggests areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Matomo analytics supports privacy-conscious tracking. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could be a compliance gap.
Recommendations
Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages.
Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Ensure all forms have anti-CSRF protections and validate inputs securely to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It uses Borlabs Cookie for cookie management and Matomo for analytics, indicating a focus on privacy. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, enhancing performance and security. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features. Performance is optimized with preconnects and lazy loading. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. The technical stack is well-maintained with opportunities to enhance security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation.
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.
