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

Linguaschools operates as a reputable network of boutique Spanish language schools located in Spain and Latin America, offering a wide range of Spanish courses year-round. The company emphasizes cultural immersion alongside language education, targeting students and travelers seeking authentic experiences. Their market position is strong within the niche of high-quality language education with multiple accreditations supporting their credibility. Technically, the website employs modern tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google Maps API, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that slightly reduces trust but does not overshadow the professional presentation and comprehensive content of the site. Overall, Linguaschools presents a trustworthy and well-structured online presence suitable for its educational business model.

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

4 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Linguaschools has carved a niche in the education sector by focusing on Spanish language learning combined with cultural activities. Their business model includes direct operation of schools and partnerships with like-minded institutions, offering diverse course types including intensive, combination, individual, semi-intensive, exam preparation, online, and university pathway programs. The company targets international students and travelers, leveraging multilingual websites and social media channels to reach a broad audience. Their accreditations and memberships enhance their competitive advantage. The company appears medium-sized, founded in 2005, with a consistent brand and strong trust signals such as student testimonials and certifications. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple country-specific domains, reinforcing their international reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for enhancement. No direct incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts is standard but should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider registering WHOIS data publicly or using a verified privacy protection service to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance data protection officer visibility and provide clear contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, Google Maps API for interactive maps, and a cookie consent tool for privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and lazy loading for performance. The HTML structure is valid and SEO-friendly with appropriate meta tags and language attributes. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. The site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit technical documentation for security and compliance, representing opportunities for technical modernization.
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.
