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

KinderUniGraz is a non-profit educational initiative based in Graz, Austria, focused on inspiring children in science, research, and art through lectures, workshops, and events. The website serves as a portal for program information, news, and event registration, targeting children, families, and educators. It collaborates with multiple universities and institutions in Graz, enhancing its credibility and reach. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a variety of plugins, uses HTTPS, and includes modern web technologies such as jQuery and FontAwesome. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices but basic accessibility features. Security posture is decent with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks some security headers and formal policies. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

9 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 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 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';…

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 website positions KinderUniGraz as a key regional educational program for children, leveraging partnerships with universities and cultural institutions. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on educational outreach and community engagement. The target audience includes children aged approximately 6-14, their families, and educators. The site offers a range of programs such as lecture series, summer schools, workshops, and awards. The presence of social media and media cooperation indicates active community engagement. The lack of explicit business contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and user trust. The website content is regularly updated with news and event announcements, indicating active management and growth potential.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption, which secures data in transit. However, no explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, limiting transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. Forms exist for search and registration but no detailed analysis of input sanitization is possible from the content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers, formalizing incident response contacts, and publishing privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on WordPress 5.2.23 with multiple plugins for galleries, logo sliders, staff lists, newsletters, and more. It uses jQuery 1.12.4 and Google Fonts for styling. The site is served over HTTPS, indicating a secure transport layer. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS files loaded from both the site and external CDNs. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Cards. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and alt attributes present but no advanced accessibility features detected. The site could benefit from modernization of jQuery and optimization of asset loading to improve speed and user experience.
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.
