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

LearnWorlds (CY) Ltd operates a leading AI-powered Learning Management System (LMS) platform designed for course creators and businesses worldwide. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools for creating, marketing, and selling online courses, supported by a strong customer base of over 11,000 users. Their market position is reinforced by extensive integrations, a branded mobile app offering, and a focus on interactive and social learning experiences. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages Cloudflare for hosting and CDN services, with modern analytics and marketing technologies integrated. However, a critical security gap exists due to an invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support, which significantly impacts the security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness but requires urgent remediation of its SSL configuration to ensure secure user interactions.

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

2 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 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

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

LearnWorlds targets course creators, educators, and businesses seeking scalable online education solutions. Their SaaS business model includes subscription plans, marketing funnels, affiliate programs, and extensive integrations with payment and automation platforms. The company emphasizes customer success through 360˚ support, expert directories, and educational resources. Their strategic partnerships with Course Masters and others enhance their market reach. The presence of detailed case studies and testimonials indicates a mature customer engagement strategy. The company is medium-sized, founded in 2014, and maintains a consistent brand identity across digital channels.

Security posture

The website employs essential security headers such as HSTS and X-Frame-Options, and uses Cloudflare CDN to mitigate common threats. Despite these measures, the invalid SSL certificate and absence of TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and data interception. The lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption further weakens the security posture. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities in libraries was found. Privacy policies and GDPR compliance are well documented, but incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Immediate SSL remediation is necessary to elevate the security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and TLS 1.2+ protocols.
  2. Enable and configure strong cipher suites and security headers including HSTS with preload and includeSubDomains.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit privacy compliance documentation and cookie consent mechanisms.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Cloudflare CDN, Google Tag Manager, Mixpanel, Hotjar, and Intercom for analytics and user engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and rich multimedia content such as videos and interactive elements. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets. Performance metrics indicate slow loading times, possibly due to heavy multimedia and third-party scripts. Technical debt is minimal but the invalid SSL certificate is a significant risk. Opportunities exist to optimize performance and enhance security configurations.
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.
