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

KiVa Koulu is an anti-bullying program developed by the University of Turku, widely adopted in Finnish primary schools and internationally in over 20 countries. The website serves as an educational and informational platform targeting schools, teachers, students, and parents, providing resources, research, and program participation information. The business model is non-profit and education-focused, with strong institutional backing and a reputable market position in the education sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frontend technologies including jQuery and DustPress JS. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with no blocking or WAF detected, and HTTPS is enforced. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks explicit security headers and incident response contact information.

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. 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 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

  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

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

KiVa Koulu holds a leading position in the anti-bullying educational program market, leveraging its affiliation with the University of Turku and Finnish government entities. Its competitive advantage lies in evidence-based program development and international reach. The business model focuses on educational impact rather than commercial revenue, targeting schools and educational stakeholders. Partnerships with universities and government bodies enhance credibility and growth potential. The website supports this ecosystem by providing multilingual resources and international program links, indicating a mature partnership network and strategic positioning in the education sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options) and explicit incident response policies or contact channels. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, indicating good operational security. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional security controls and clearer communication channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with jQuery and DustPress JS libraries, indicating a standard but modern web infrastructure. It uses Google Fonts for typography and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site loads efficiently with responsive images and mobile-friendly design. However, there is no explicit hosting provider information detected. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. The technical stack is stable and widely supported, but the absence of advanced security headers and incident response mechanisms represents a technical risk that should be addressed to maintain operational integrity.
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.
