50/100

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

Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is a prominent Indonesian university specializing in science, technology, and arts education. The website serves a broad audience including prospective and current students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni. It offers comprehensive information on academic programs, research, innovation, and public services. The institution holds a strong market position with recognized rankings in Asia Pacific and globally. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Visual Composer, Yoast SEO, and various JavaScript libraries, providing a rich user experience with good mobile optimization and accessibility. However, the website lacks a valid SSL certificate and proper HTTPS configuration, which significantly impacts its security posture. Security headers are present but insufficient without proper SSL. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, indicating compliance gaps. DNS records are missing or incomplete, raising concerns about domain configuration. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy in content but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy 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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

ITS operates as a large educational institution with a clear focus on technology and research. Its business model revolves around delivering diverse academic programs and fostering innovation and community service. The university maintains a strong digital presence with active social media channels and partnerships with government and educational bodies. The website content is well-structured and professionally maintained, supporting recruitment and engagement of international and local students. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and DNS misconfigurations are notable weaknesses. The institution's branding is consistent and content quality is excellent, supporting its market leadership in Indonesia's higher education sector.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While security headers like X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-XSS-Protection are implemented, they cannot compensate for the lack of encryption. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. DNS security features such as DNSSEC and CAA are not enabled, increasing risk of DNS spoofing or certificate mis-issuance. The site does not implement OCSP stapling or session resumption, which could improve TLS performance and security. Overall, the site requires immediate remediation to meet basic security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance considerations.
  4. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance domain security and certificate issuance control.
  5. Add a security policy page and provide incident response contact information (e.g., security@its.ac.id).
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Improve website performance metrics and monitor loading times for better user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with extensive use of plugins such as Yoast SEO Premium for SEO optimization, Visual Composer for page building, and various JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Vue.js, and Bootstrap for responsive design. The site uses Matomo and Google Analytics for user tracking. Lazy loading and image optimization techniques are employed. However, performance data is missing, suggesting potential issues with caching or monitoring. The DNS configuration is incomplete or missing, which is unusual for a large institution and may affect reliability. The SSL configuration is absent, severely impacting security. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires critical improvements in security and DNS management.
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.
