Security score

53/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The LNM Institute of Information Technology operates as a medium-sized educational institution in India, focusing on excellence in research and innovation. The website reflects a professional academic portal offering undergraduate, lateral entry, and Ph.D. programs. The technical infrastructure is built on WordPress with modern plugins and themes, ensuring a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and some security plugins, but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance. Tracking technologies like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are used, but without visible consent mechanisms, indicating room for privacy improvements. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned in the education sector but should enhance privacy and security transparency.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  3. 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 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';…

  4. 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

The institute targets students and researchers, positioning itself as a leader in transformative research and innovation. Its business model is educational, providing academic programs and research opportunities. The website content and structured data reinforce its market position and credibility. The use of modern web technologies and SEO practices supports its digital presence. However, the absence of explicit privacy and security policies may affect compliance with regulations like GDPR. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses security-related plugins, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the lack of security headers and absence of published security or incident response policies suggest gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The presence of tracking scripts without consent mechanisms poses privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved by implementing security headers, privacy policies, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with contact channels.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supported by various plugins for events, sliders, and accessibility. It uses modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Font Awesome. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. SEO is enhanced by structured data and meta tags. However, there is no explicit hosting provider information. The site could benefit from improved accessibility and security header implementation to reduce technical risks.
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.
