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 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. Security headers

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 Service de médiation scolaire operates as a small government entity within Luxembourg's Ministry of National Education, providing mediation services to resolve school-related conflicts. Its market position is that of an official public service with no direct commercial competition. The business model is service-oriented, funded by the government, targeting parents, students, and school staff. The website supports multiple languages, indicating an inclusive approach to Luxembourg's multilingual population. The presence of official government logos and contact details enhances credibility. The organization does not appear to have subsidiaries or partners listed on the site. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a preference for privacy-conscious tools. Overall, the entity demonstrates stable operations with a clear public service mission.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced with excellent SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communication. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, and Matomo analytics is used for privacy-respecting tracking. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could delay response to security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the site is secure for general public use but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide a dedicated security or incident response contact email to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  4. Enhance user trust by adding visible trust seals or certifications related to data protection and security compliance.
  5. Continue to maintain and improve accessibility and multilingual support to serve the diverse Luxembourg population effectively.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform (version 6.7.1) with Bootstrap framework for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It uses Matomo for analytics, favoring privacy over mainstream trackers. The GDPR Cookie Compliance plugin manages cookie consent effectively. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs such as cdnjs.cloudflare.com and public.lu. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading, contributing to good user experience. Accessibility features like font size and contrast toggles are implemented. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and multilingual hreflang attributes. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, indicating good maintenance and 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.
