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

KTH Executive School AB is a specialized educational institution focused on executive programs tailored for senior managers and specialists in industrial sectors. The school offers programs such as the Executive Program in Industrial Management and Operations and Supply Chain Management Program, aiming to equip industry leaders with skills to navigate technological and environmental transformations. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand aligned with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, targeting a niche audience in Sweden and related industrial sectors. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern tracking and marketing tools integrated, including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly but could improve accessibility and performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, but lacks security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for enhanced protection. Privacy compliance is basic; a privacy policy exists but lacks explicit GDPR statements and no cookie consent mechanism is present. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy 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

7 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

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 education sector with a focus on executive education for industrial management, targeting senior managers in manufacturing and energy industries. The company leverages its affiliation with KTH Royal Institute of Technology to position itself as a leader in industrial transformation education. Revenue streams likely come from tuition fees for executive programs. The website content and testimonials indicate strong industry connections and a network of high-profile participants, which supports competitive advantage. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on knowledge transfer and leadership development. The company is small-sized, founded in 2001, and operates primarily in Sweden. The partnership ecosystem includes professional networks and possibly industry collaborations, though no explicit partner domains were identified. Strategic observations suggest a stable niche presence with opportunities to expand digital engagement and compliance maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR explicit statements. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risk. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small educational website but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, using a modern tech stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and multilingual support via WPML. It integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Pipedrive LeadBooster chatbot. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve performance but could benefit from further optimization. The hosting provider is inferred as Loopia AB, consistent with the registrar data. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No critical technical issues or broken elements were detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has opportunities for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
