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

6 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
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

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 holds a strong market position as a leader in Spanish language education with a network of partner sites in multiple languages, enhancing global reach. Their business model focuses on providing personalized language learning experiences with cultural activities, appealing to international students. The company leverages social media and content marketing through an active blog and social channels. The absence of direct email contacts on the site suggests a preference for phone and online portal communications. The company maintains accreditations such as recognition by the Instituto Cervantes, reinforcing credibility. Growth potential is supported by diversified course offerings and online learning options.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a published security.txt file, which are recommended best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and ComplyDog is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved with formal documentation and enhanced HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Consider adding verified company contact emails for security and support purposes.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Google Maps API for interactive maps, and a third-party cookie consent tool (ComplyDog). The site is mobile responsive with lazy loading images and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with some deferred script loading. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. The site lacks some advanced frameworks but maintains good usability and content delivery. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for 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.
