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 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

      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

      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

Kutsekoda holds a strong market position as Estonia's vocational qualifications coordinator, providing key services such as standard setting, exam coordination, and labor market forecasting. The business model is non-profit and public sector oriented, focusing on education and workforce development. The organization leverages partnerships with related domains for certificate services, research, and events. The website's content and structure support clear communication to its target audience, including employers and educational stakeholders. Growth indicators include active event promotion and research dissemination. The partnership ecosystem is well integrated with related official platforms.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Wordfence security plugin scripts detected. External links are configured to open in new windows with noopener for security. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were found. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present and should be implemented to enhance protection. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not visible, suggesting room for improvement in security transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts or security team email addresses.
  4. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a modern tech stack including PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, and Smart Slider 3 for dynamic content. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin, and fonts/icons are served via Google Fonts and FontAwesome. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links. Performance is moderate, with some heavy slider images but overall good loading practices. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the organization's Estonian identity, registered with Telia Eesti AS since 2010. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by improving security headers and monitoring third-party scripts.
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.
