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

Sim4people operates a professional website offering simulation-based training focused on systematic troubleshooting, critical thinking, and problem-solving for global businesses. Their services include instructor-led training (both on-site and virtual), team-based e-learning, and competitive simulation leagues, supporting multiple languages to enhance accessibility. The company targets professional teams seeking experiential learning to improve operational efficiency and teamwork. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, Vimeo for video content, Typed.js for dynamic text effects, and Jetboost for enhanced interactivity. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Hosting is managed by Webflow, ensuring reliable delivery and HTTPS security. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with required fields, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness, despite the professional appearance and active content. Privacy and cookie policies are present, indicating some compliance with GDPR, but incident response and security policies are not published. Overall, the website presents a solid business offering with good technical implementation and a generally positive security posture. However, the lack of domain registration transparency and some compliance gaps suggest areas for improvement to enhance trust and security assurance.

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

5 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Sim4people occupies a niche in the education sector, specializing in simulation-based training for systematic troubleshooting and critical thinking. Their business model leverages interactive and experiential learning methods, differentiating from traditional classroom training by emphasizing real-time problem-solving and team collaboration. The company offers flexible delivery modes including instructor-led sessions, virtual training, and e-learning, appealing to diverse corporate clients globally. Multi-language support broadens their market reach. The website's professional design and clear service descriptions indicate a focused strategy on quality and user engagement. Partnerships with platforms like LinkedIn and Simulation Central suggest an ecosystem approach to training delivery. However, the lack of public company registration details and domain WHOIS data may impact perceived credibility among cautious clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No evidence of exposed credentials, malware, or vulnerable libraries was found, which is positive. Privacy policies are published, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may affect GDPR compliance. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not available, limiting transparency in security management. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or domain registration issues, which impacts overall trust. Recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, publishing security policies, and verifying domain registration details to strengthen security and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies such as Google Fonts, Vimeo embedded videos, Typed.js for animated text, and Jetboost for interactive features. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of CDN for assets and asynchronous loading of scripts contributes to performance. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a technical anomaly that should be investigated. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented but can benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
