Risk levelMedium

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

Academia MD is a small educational entity targeting Spanish-speaking audiences, currently in a pre-launch phase as indicated by the 'Próximo lanzamiento' message. The website is built on the GoDaddy Website Builder platform and uses standard web fonts and service workers for progressive web app capabilities. The technical infrastructure is basic but functional, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the site lacks critical business and security information such as privacy policies, terms of service, and contact details, which limits its trustworthiness and compliance posture. Security features are minimal, with no visible security headers or incident response policies. Overall, the website presents a basic digital presence with significant room for improvement in security, privacy compliance, and business credibility.

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

      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

Academia MD appears to be an educational startup or small academy preparing for launch. Its business model likely involves subscription or membership, as evidenced by the email subscription form. The market positioning is nascent with no visible competitive advantages or partnerships beyond the GoDaddy platform. The target customers are Spanish-speaking learners. The lack of detailed business information and trust indicators suggests early-stage development. There are no visible revenue streams or advanced marketing tools integrated yet.

Security posture

The website's security posture is basic. HTTPS usage is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. No security headers are detected, and there is no evidence of vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts. The cookie banner provides a consent mechanism, indicating some awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of privacy policies and security best practices reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and incident reporting.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced and visible to users to enhance security posture.
  5. Integrate analytics and marketing tools with privacy compliance to better understand user engagement and improve business intelligence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses GoDaddy Website Builder with modern web fonts and service workers for PWA support. The technical implementation is standard for small business websites but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS features. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. SEO and accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in navigation clarity and content richness. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. The hosting provider is GoDaddy, which provides reliable infrastructure but the site does not leverage advanced technical optimizations.
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.
