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

Modern Campus USA Inc. is a leading provider of higher education management software designed to help colleges and universities attract, engage, and retain learners through personalized digital experiences. The company offers a comprehensive suite of products including web content management, curriculum and catalog management, student engagement platforms, and professional services. With over 1,700 clients and multiple industry awards, Modern Campus holds a strong market position in the education technology sector. The website infrastructure leverages modern technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, HubSpot marketing and analytics tools, and proprietary CMS solutions. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, features clear navigation, and integrates extensive marketing and tracking tools to support digital engagement and lead generation. Hosting and domain registration are managed through reputable providers, with domain security measures like domain locking in place. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, no exposed sensitive data, and secure form handling via HubSpot. However, DNSSEC is not enabled and some advanced security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Contact information is clearly presented, supporting business credibility and user trust. Overall, the website and business demonstrate a mature digital presence with strong security and privacy practices, though improvements in security policy transparency and DNS security could further enhance trust and resilience.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

  2. 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Modern Campus operates in the education technology sector, targeting higher education institutions with SaaS solutions that streamline student lifecycle management and engagement. Their business model focuses on B2B software sales and professional services, supported by a strong marketing ecosystem including content marketing, events, and customer success stories. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive product suite tailored specifically for higher education and its extensive client base. Growth indicators include a large number of clients, industry awards, and active thought leadership. Partnerships and integrations with platforms like HubSpot and LinkedIn enhance their market reach and operational capabilities.

Security posture

The security maturity level of Modern Campus’s website is good, with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected. The use of secure third-party services for forms and analytics reduces risk. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers indicates room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is implied through privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms, but explicit certifications or security frameworks are not mentioned.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall domain security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and HubSpot for marketing automation and analytics. The proprietary Modern Campus CMS powers content management. The site loads moderately fast with deferred and asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is excellent with responsive layouts and accessible navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of multiple analytics and tracking services indicates a mature digital marketing infrastructure but also requires careful privacy management. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected.
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.
