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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 company positions itself as a niche provider in the healthcare and education sectors, focusing on developmental therapies and early intervention programs. Their business model revolves around direct service provision to families and children with special needs. The presence of partner domains suggests a broader group affiliation, enhancing credibility. The website content and testimonials indicate a customer-centric approach with emphasis on quality care and personalized interventions. Growth potential is supported by clear calls to action for consultations and screenings. Marketing tools like Tidio chat enhance customer engagement. However, the absence of detailed privacy and security policies may limit trust for privacy-conscious users.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. No security headers were detected, which is a missed opportunity to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could hinder transparency and trust in case of security incidents. Forms are present but no explicit anti-bot or advanced security measures were identified beyond standard plugins. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by adding security headers, a security.txt file, and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO metadata to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building, supported by several plugins including Alpus Flexbox and U-Design Core. It uses popular frontend libraries such as Swiper.js for sliders and FontAwesome for icons. Google Fonts are loaded asynchronously for performance. The site includes a live chat integration via Tidio, enhancing user interaction. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and preloading of fonts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive navigation menus. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no advanced caching or CDN usage was explicitly detected in the HTML. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and improved security headers.
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.
