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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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 institute occupies a niche educational market focused on Chinese language and culture within the Czech Republic. Its partnership with China Jiliang University enhances credibility and offers unique cultural exchange opportunities. Revenue streams likely include course fees, workshops, and conference participation. The target customer segment includes university students, language learners, and cultural enthusiasts. The presence of testimonials and active social media channels supports engagement and trust. The business shows signs of steady growth with organized events and seasonal schools in China. The partnership ecosystem is limited but strategic, focusing on academic collaboration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.2) could pose potential vulnerabilities if not regularly patched. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder transparency and readiness. Data protection practices appear compliant with GDPR, supported by visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhancements in header policies and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Explicitly configure and enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers to strengthen HTTPS security.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.7.2, Owl Carousel for UI components, and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. CookieScript is used for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization given the use of older JavaScript libraries. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but functional. Hosting appears stable with a Czech registrar and domain age consistent with business history. Technical risks include outdated libraries and missing security headers, which 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.
