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

Level Up is a small, newly established education consultancy founded in 2023, specializing in assisting students with international education programs across countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Spain, and the EU. The company offers a range of services including program selection, visa assistance, accommodation support, and language courses. Their market position is niche, targeting students and parents seeking quality education abroad. The website is built on the Tilda CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies and includes customer testimonials and social media integration to build trust. Technically, the site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized but lacks some advanced accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but missing several important security headers and no published security or privacy policies, indicating compliance gaps. Contact information is primarily via social media and a contact form, with a single clearly labeled phone number. Overall, the site is professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

9 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. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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 business operates in the education sector, focusing on international study programs. It differentiates itself by offering personalized consultancy services and visa support, which is supported by positive client testimonials. The business model is service-based, relying on client engagement through consultations and program placements. The target audience includes students and their families interested in overseas education. The company maintains an active social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Viber, which supports client communication and marketing. The domain is newly registered with privacy protection, which is typical for small consultancies. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The company appears to be in early growth stages with a focus on building trust and market presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a critical security baseline. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy, which could expose it to clickjacking, content injection, and privacy risks. There is no visible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for transparency and trust. The forms on the site collect personal data including name, phone, email, and study preferences, but there is no privacy or cookie policy to inform users about data handling practices. The absence of these policies and security headers reduces the overall security maturity and compliance posture. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and content injection risks.
  2. Add security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against clickjacking and privacy leaks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data collection and processing.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file with contact information for security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Tilda CMS platform, which provides a modern and responsive design framework. It uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site loads resources from Tilda's CDN, Google Fonts, and social media platforms. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. Mobile optimization is good with responsive menus and layouts. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and labels but could be improved. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. The domain is hosted on Tilda's infrastructure, which is reliable but limits direct control over server-level security configurations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is suitable for a small consultancy but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy controls.
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.
