LSRT Associates · Education · United States

High risk. 10 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Email security and 3 other checks.

Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

LSRT Associates is a small consulting firm specializing in Veracross software implementation, philanthropic consulting, and fractional CIO services primarily targeting independent schools and philanthropic organizations in the Saint Louis area. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings but lacks direct contact details such as emails or phone numbers, relying on a contact form instead. The technical infrastructure is based on a modern WordPress CMS hosted on GoDaddy, utilizing contemporary plugins and themes with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, though it lacks important security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for compliance improvement. Overall, the site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, but privacy compliance and security policy transparency are areas needing enhancement.

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

10 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  4. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 company operates in a niche market providing specialized consulting services in education technology and philanthropy. Its business model focuses on fractional and project-based consulting engagements, targeting organizations that require expert guidance without full-time staff. The partnership with scientificphilanthropy.com suggests a collaborative ecosystem in philanthropic consulting. The absence of detailed business registration or VAT information is typical for small consulting firms. The website's content and structure support a credible professional presence but could benefit from expanded trust signals such as certifications or testimonials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency in security management. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance gap especially relevant under GDPR. The site uses no known vulnerable libraries and has secure form inputs, but overall security maturity could be improved by implementing recommended HTTP headers and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy or incident response contact information to increase transparency and readiness.
  4. Include direct company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Go theme and CoBlocks plugin, leveraging modern web technologies such as SVG icons, OffscreenCanvas, and Google Fonts. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, with PHP version 8.0.30 in use. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses lazy loading for fonts. Performance is moderate, with no major errors or broken elements detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation, though no JSON-LD or Open Graph metadata is present. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with enhanced ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support.
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.
