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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

    • 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

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

ScioLink operates in the education sector, targeting universities and faculties that require reliable online testing solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing expertise, integration of AI for exam integrity, and cloud-based infrastructure ensuring scalability and security. The business model is B2B SaaS, offering tailored exam administration services that reduce administrative overhead and improve candidate experience. The company maintains strong partnerships and has EU funding support, enhancing its market credibility. Growth indicators include expanding client base in Czech and Slovak markets and positive media recognition. The website content and testimonials reflect a mature and trusted brand with a focus on innovation and quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and data hosted on Microsoft Azure, a platform known for robust security standards. The use of AI for remote proctoring adds a layer of exam integrity. Cookie consent is implemented with an opt-in mechanism, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of visible security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security policies or incident response information are gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, which is a security concern. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide direct security contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to enable timely communication of incidents.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies including jQuery, Swiper.js, and Google Fonts. Hosting appears to be a combination of Webflow's infrastructure and Microsoft Azure for backend services, ensuring scalability and security. Performance is optimized with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager for analytics and Calendly for scheduling. Technical debt appears low, with clean HTML and CSS. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize security documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
