Klaipėdos universitetas operates as a large public university in Lithuania, offering a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs, research activities, and community services. The website reflects a well-organized academic institution targeting students, researchers, and the general public interested in higher education and regional development. The university positions itself as a leader in the Baltic region with a focus on innovation and academic excellence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various analytics and marketing tools, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience.

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 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

    • 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

    • 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. 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 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 university's market position as a Baltic regional leader in education is supported by its diverse academic offerings and community engagement initiatives. The business model is typical for a public educational institution, relying on tuition, research funding, and partnerships. The website's extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing pixels suggests active engagement in digital marketing and user behavior analysis. Partnerships with alumni and exhibition sites indicate a strong ecosystem supporting student and community relations. The absence of explicit business registration data on the site is common for public institutions but limits external verification. Growth indicators include active event promotion and program updates. The university's digital presence is mature, supporting its strategic goals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and bot mitigation via hCaptcha. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with privacy best practices, but no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and remediation of security issues. The use of multiple tracking pixels increases the attack surface and privacy risk, necessitating careful management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security issues to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance visibility and accessibility of data protection officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking pixels to reduce privacy risks and improve user data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and several specialized libraries for UI components such as sliders and lightboxes. Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Hotjar, and Sentry for error tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with features like a disability version toggle. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site structure and meta tags support good SEO practices. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which could impact performance and security if not managed properly.
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.
