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

Peak To Peak Charter School is a well-established K-12 public charter school located in Lafayette, Colorado, serving the Boulder Valley School District. The school offers a liberal arts education with a strong focus on college preparation, including Advanced Placement courses and a variety of extracurricular activities such as athletics and arts. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, providing detailed information about academic programs, enrollment, athletics, and community engagement. The school targets students, parents, and educators within the local district and emphasizes inclusivity and academic excellence. Technically, the website is built on the Finalsite CMS platform and integrates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Qualtrics for user feedback. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a clean design and clear navigation. Security best practices are observed, including HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, although some privacy compliance aspects like cookie consent mechanisms and terms of service pages could be improved. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of WHOIS data due to a malformed response limits the ability to fully verify domain registration legitimacy. Despite this, the website content and contact information align with a legitimate educational institution. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong commitment to transparency, user engagement, and educational service delivery. Strategically, the school should enhance privacy compliance by implementing cookie consent banners and publishing terms of service and vulnerability disclosure policies. These steps will improve trust and regulatory adherence. Continued monitoring of security and privacy practices is recommended to maintain a high standard of digital safety and user confidence.

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. 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Peak To Peak Charter School occupies a strong position as a top-ranked public charter school within the Boulder Valley School District, focusing on liberal arts and college preparatory education. Its business model is tuition-free public education, supported by district funding and community involvement. The school offers a broad curriculum from elementary through high school, including Advanced Placement courses and extensive extracurricular programs. The presence of a financial transparency section and community engagement initiatives indicates a well-managed institution with active stakeholder communication. The school leverages partnerships with district services and external platforms for enrollment and student management. Growth indicators include a comprehensive online presence and active social media engagement. The school’s operations emphasize academic excellence, inclusivity, and student development, positioning it as a reputable educational provider in the region.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML content. The use of secure forms and absence of vulnerable libraries or scripts indicate good security hygiene. However, the lack of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits formal incident reporting channels. Privacy compliance is partial, with no visible cookie consent mechanism or explicit GDPR compliance statements. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security communication to users and researchers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible terms of service page outlining user rights and responsibilities.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Develop and share incident response and security policies to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy compliance measures to align with GDPR and other relevant regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Finalsite CMS platform, integrating modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics (GA4), and Qualtrics for analytics and user feedback. The site uses responsive design techniques and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate with optimized images and asynchronous script loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical URLs. The site is hosted likely by Finalsite or associated providers, with no signs of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of cookie consent and privacy banners represents a compliance gap. The site architecture supports scalability and user engagement effectively.
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.
