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. 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 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 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

      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

The business operates in the technology sector, focusing on sales growth and management education for B2B startups and SMEs. Their business model revolves around educational programs, coaching, and workshops, generating revenue through program enrollments and consulting. The presence of testimonials from founders and leaders enhances credibility and market positioning. The partnership with salesmanagementacademy.coachremote.ly indicates an extended ecosystem for delivering webinars and workshops. The company targets a specialized market segment, which supports focused growth and competitive advantage. However, the lack of detailed company registration or VAT information on the website limits full business transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications and protection against protocol downgrade attacks. Security headers are present but limited in scope. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms also suggests incomplete GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is good technically but lacks comprehensive policy documentation and user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner and cookie policy to inform users and obtain consent for tracking technologies.
  3. Add explicit security and incident response policies, including contact emails for security issues or abuse reporting.
  4. Provide direct contact information such as company email addresses and phone numbers to enhance trust and accessibility.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, leveraging its CDN and standard JavaScript and CSS libraries. The use of Google Fonts (Poppins) and modern CSS3 features supports a contemporary design aesthetic. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and responsive design for mobile devices. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking. Technical debt appears low due to the managed platform, but opportunities exist to improve SEO metadata completeness and accessibility compliance. Hosting by Squarespace ensures reliable uptime and security but limits customization of security headers and advanced configurations.
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.
