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

Stipendia.cz is a Czech-based consulting service specializing in facilitating educational and sports scholarship opportunities in the USA. The company targets students and athletes seeking to study at top universities and private high schools in the USA, offering tailored service packages including sports camps and flight booking. The website is multilingual, supporting Czech, English, and German languages, reflecting an international outreach. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and Yoast SEO plugin, hosted on Websupport.cz, and demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and incident response information. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security practices.

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

      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

  2. 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

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

The company occupies a niche market in the Czech Republic, focusing on US educational scholarships with a strong emphasis on sports. Their business model revolves around consulting and service facilitation, with revenue likely generated from service packages and partnerships. The presence of testimonials and references enhances credibility. The partnership with a flight booking service indicates an extended service ecosystem. The target customer segment includes young athletes and students aiming for international education. The company has been established since 2005, indicating market experience and stability.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response contacts are not provided, which could delay handling of security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, with the Divi theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a standard but effective technical infrastructure. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and WordPress.org. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, supporting a positive user experience on various devices. The absence of advanced security headers and privacy compliance features represents technical debt and modernization opportunities. Overall, the technical setup supports the business needs but should be enhanced for security and compliance.
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.
