Risk levelHigh

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

Sacred Heart College is a well-established Catholic high school institution in Belize, founded in 1960 and managed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Belize and Belmopan. The institution offers a variety of academic programs including business, science, and general studies, targeting high school students primarily in Belize. The website reflects a medium-sized educational institution with a consistent brand identity and a clear focus on holistic student development. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem including Slider Revolution and Everest Forms, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements content copy protection scripts but lacks important security headers and a vulnerability disclosure mechanism. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures.

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

9 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: Telnet

      Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to Telnet using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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 institution holds a strong market position as a premier educational choice in Belize's Western Region. Its business model focuses on secondary education with a sister tertiary institution, Sacred Heart Junior College, expanding its educational ecosystem. The website supports student services such as Moodle, class schedules, and student drives, indicating a digital maturity in supporting its community. The presence of official contact information and social media integration supports engagement and trust. However, the lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates a gap in regulatory compliance that should be addressed to maintain credibility and legal adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and client-side content protection scripts. However, the absence of standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces its defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is present, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. The site does not expose sensitive data visibly, but the lack of security headers and privacy policies are notable compliance gaps. Regular updates and security hardening are recommended to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR and other privacy law compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance security posture.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  4. Review and optimize content copy protection scripts to balance protection with user experience and accessibility.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

  2. Content copy protection scripts are aggressive, disabling right-click, selection, and keyboard shortcuts to prevent copying.
  3. No privacy or cookie policies found, which is a compliance gap.
  4. Contact information is clearly provided including emails, phone numbers, and physical address.
  5. Social media presence includes Facebook page and Facebook customer chat integration.
  6. No visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page.
  7. No explicit security headers detected in the HTML content provided.
  8. Website is well branded and consistent with the educational institution's identity.
  9. No signs of WAF or content blocking; full content is accessible.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using version 5.7.12, with a suite of plugins including Slider Revolution for visual content, Everest Forms for form management, and Download Manager for file handling. The site uses jQuery 3.5.1 and integrates Facebook SDK for social features. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized, with moderate loading performance. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement. SEO optimization is present but could be enhanced with structured data and meta tags. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified in the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the institution's needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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.
