Technically, the website uses Solidpixels CMS, Google Tag Manager, and modern web fonts, delivering a moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled, though the absence of security headers suggests room for improvement.

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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 website serves as a communication and marketing channel for NEWTON University, enhancing its brand visibility and engagement with its academic community. The content strategy includes regular updates on university news, student activities, and interviews with faculty and students, indicating a focus on community building and transparency. The partnership with the main university domain (www.newton.university) strengthens its credibility. The absence of direct contact information on the homepage suggests that the site is primarily informational rather than transactional. The use of Google Tag Manager and Seznam tracking indicates an interest in user analytics and marketing optimization. The business operates in the education sector, targeting students and academic professionals, with a medium organizational size inferred from content volume and scope.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, or HSTS were detected, which are recommended to enhance security against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Forms present are minimal and appear to be standard search forms without sensitive data collection. The cookie consent mechanism indicates some level of privacy awareness. The lack of a visible security or incident response policy and absence of security contact emails suggest limited transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  3. Add visible contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and mitigate risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Solidpixels CMS, utilizing modern web fonts from Google Fonts and tracking via Google Tag Manager and Seznam. The HTML structure is valid and well-organized, supporting good SEO practices with meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. The site lacks advanced frameworks but uses standard JavaScript libraries like Modernizr for feature detection. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. The site uses asynchronous loading for analytics scripts, which is good for performance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and stable with opportunities for further optimization and security enhancements.
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.
