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

4 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 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 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';…

  2. 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

OnCampus Abroad operates in the education sector, focusing on travel insurance for academic mobilities within Europe. Their business model centers on providing affordable, comprehensive insurance plans with options for EHIC holders and non-holders, supplemented by extension packs for sports and holiday coverage. The company targets students and academic staff engaged in exchanges, leveraging partnerships with ERGO and Munich Re to ensure high-quality insurance services. The presence of multilingual 24/7 support and a user-friendly online quote and onboarding process indicates a customer-centric approach. Growth potential lies in expanding coverage options and geographic reach. The company maintains a professional online presence with active social media channels and a content-rich blog, supporting brand awareness and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No security.txt or explicit incident response policies are published, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. The use of reputable third-party services like Cookiebot for consent management and Hotjar for behavioral analytics is positive but requires ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance with privacy regulations. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were detected. Overall, the security measures are adequate but could be enhanced to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and clearly defined incident response policies to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and regularly review privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, indicating a modern single-page application architecture. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking, alongside Cookiebot for cookie consent management, reflecting a mature digital marketing and compliance setup. Hosting is managed via Amazon Registrar, Inc., with AWS DNS servers, ensuring reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized font loading. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or headless architecture. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for enhancements in security and accessibility.
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.
