Education · N/a
High risk. 13 critical or high findings in Network security, Security headers and 3 other checks.
openscienceASAP is an educational and community-focused platform dedicated to promoting open science practices. The website provides resources, research, education, and social engagement opportunities for researchers and advocates of open science. The platform operates as a small-scale non-profit or community resource hub with a niche focus on open science within the education sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with standard web technologies including PHP and JavaScript, and uses external resources such as Google Fonts and Fontello icons. The hosting and domain registration are stable and consistent with the website's age and purpose. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks advanced DNS security and security headers. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps. No contact information or incident response details are provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the website is functional but basic in content and technical sophistication.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
13 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.
Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk
What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN
Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server
What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN
Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer
What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication
Port 139 (NetBIOS) is publicly accessible - NetBIOS - Windows file sharing
What to do: Consider restricting access to NetBIOS or implementing strong authentication
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.
Forces HTTPS connections
What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
Controls resources the browser is allowed to load
What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
