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

KEDGE Alumni operates as a large, well-established alumni network for KEDGE Business School graduates, providing career services, networking events, and professional development resources. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Leaflet.js for interactive maps. Security measures such as HTTPS, CSRF tokens, and hCaptcha are implemented, enhancing the site's security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting a mature approach to data protection. However, the absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which should be further investigated. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional platform for alumni engagement.

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.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 site targets alumni and graduates of KEDGE Business School, offering services like job boards, coaching, and event participation. It maintains a strong social media presence and global chapters, indicating a broad and active community. The business model focuses on community building and career support, leveraging digital tools for engagement. Partnerships with the parent school and donation platforms enhance credibility. The lack of visible company registration or contact emails is a minor gap but does not detract significantly from the business's apparent legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates good security hygiene with HTTPS, secure login forms, and anti-spam measures like hCaptcha. Cookie consent mechanisms and CSRF tokens are present, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of advanced security headers and a published security policy or incident response plan indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is strong but could be enhanced with additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Leaflet.js for maps. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site integrates multiple JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements and analytics. Hosting provider details are not evident. The technical infrastructure supports a rich user experience but could benefit from performance tuning and accessibility improvements.
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.
