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

Kathy Corey Pilates is a specialized Pilates education and certification provider led by Kathy Corey, a recognized expert with over 35 years of experience. The business offers teacher training, certification programs, continuing education, and Pilates-related products such as the CORE Band™. The website targets Pilates instructors and enthusiasts globally, positioning itself as a leader in Pilates education with international reach. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging standard web technologies and hosting services from GoDaddy. However, the site suffers from slow load times and lacks advanced analytics or tracking tools. Security-wise, the website has critical vulnerabilities including the absence of a valid SSL certificate, no HTTPS support, and missing security headers, which significantly lowers its security posture. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the site presents a professional business with good content quality but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and protect users.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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

The business operates in the fitness education sector, focusing on Pilates teacher training and certification. Its competitive advantage lies in Kathy Corey's long-standing reputation and international recognition. Revenue streams likely include certification program fees, continuing education courses, and product sales. The target customers are Pilates professionals and fitness enthusiasts worldwide. The company maintains a modest digital footprint with limited social media presence primarily on Facebook. Partnerships and advisory roles in industry organizations enhance credibility. Growth potential exists through expanding online education offerings and improving digital marketing. The business model is service and product-based, relying on expertise and brand reputation.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The absence of security headers and modern TLS protocols further weakens the security posture. There are no visible compliance indicators for GDPR or other data protection regulations. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website. The business should prioritize securing the website with HTTPS, implementing security headers, and establishing privacy policies to meet compliance requirements and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Enhance website performance by optimizing resources and reducing load times.
  5. Expand contact information to include phone numbers and physical addresses to improve business credibility.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace with DNS and mail services provided by GoDaddy. It uses standard web technologies including JavaScript, YUI 3, and Typekit fonts. The site lacks modern security configurations such as TLS 1.2/1.3 and OCSP stapling. Performance is suboptimal with a high page size and slow load time. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic, with room for improvement in metadata and structured data usage. No advanced analytics or tracking tools are detected, indicating minimal user data collection. The technical debt includes outdated SSL configuration and missing security best practices, which pose risks to business operations and user trust.
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.
