Established in 2011, they have positioned themselves as an official Open edX® Partner with a global client base including prestigious academic institutions and corporations. Their key offerings include fully managed hosting, bespoke learning solutions, and full product design services tailored to online education providers. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with high-quality content and clear navigation aimed at learning providers, academic institutions, corporations, and governments. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Oxygen Builder, with modern JavaScript libraries such as Alpine.js and jQuery, and integrates Matomo analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for security and tracking. Hosting is managed via Gandi SAS, consistent with the domain registration data.

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

8 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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

OpenCraft operates in the education sector, providing Open edX® platform services to a diverse set of clients including higher education institutions, corporations, and government agencies. Their business model revolves around software development, hosting, and support services for online learning platforms. The company leverages its official partnership with Open edX® as a competitive advantage and showcases trust through client logos and certifications. Revenue streams likely include hosting subscriptions, bespoke development projects, and design services. The company targets organizations seeking scalable and customizable online learning solutions. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on quality service delivery and client engagement, with clear calls to action and detailed service descriptions. The partnership ecosystem includes Open edX® and possibly other educational technology providers. Strategic observations suggest a stable, niche-focused operation with potential for growth in the expanding e-learning market.

Security posture

The security maturity of OpenCraft's website is moderate to good. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. The use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security hardening. No direct contact information for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures is provided, which may hinder incident response effectiveness. There is no published security policy or data protection officer contact, indicating gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The domain registration is stable and consistent with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. To improve, the company should implement additional security headers, publish a security policy, and provide incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Add a security policy page and provide incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Oxygen Builder, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks like Alpine.js and jQuery for interactivity. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates Matomo analytics for user tracking, along with Google reCAPTCHA for form security. Hosting is provided by Gandi SAS, as indicated by WHOIS data and nameservers. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional online presence.
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.
