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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Skillstown operates in the education sector, focusing on B2B online learning and training services. Its market position is supported by a domain age of nearly 10 years and consistent branding. The business model revolves around providing digital learning platforms and content production services. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers like Cloudflare and Weglot for hosting and translation. While direct contact details and certifications are not visible, the use of professional SEO and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing approach. Growth potential is supported by multilingual support and a broad training offering, targeting medium-sized organizations primarily in the Netherlands.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and a published security policy or incident response contacts indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests limited transparency in security incident handling. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for an educational platform but requiring enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2, utilizing popular plugins such as Gravity Forms for form management and Weglot for multilingual support. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The site uses minified CSS and JS assets for performance optimization and preloads key images for faster rendering. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from additional security hardening and accessibility enhancements.
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.
