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

Superprof is a leading French online platform that connects students with private tutors across a wide range of subjects, offering both in-person and online lessons. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive content including tutor profiles, reviews, and educational resources. The platform targets learners in France and positions itself as a major player in the private tutoring market. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Vue.js, integrates multiple analytics and advertising tools including TikTok Analytics, Bing Ads, and Google Tag Manager, and uses security measures like HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect against bots. The site demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, ensuring a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site has a solid posture with appropriate security headers and encrypted connections. However, it lacks explicit security policies and incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. The absence of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, though the professional web presence and social media links support its credibility. Overall, Superprof presents a trustworthy and well-maintained educational service platform with room for improvement in security transparency and domain registration visibility.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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
  • 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

Superprof operates as an essential entity in the education sector, providing a marketplace for private tutoring services. Its competitive advantage lies in the extensive tutor base (over 34 million profiles) and the variety of subjects offered. The business model likely includes subscription fees or commissions from tutors. The platform targets students and learners in France, with a strong brand presence supported by social media and user testimonials. Growth indicators include a large user base and continuous content updates. The company maintains partnerships with major app stores and advertising networks, enhancing its market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse, and implementation of key security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. Enhancing these areas would improve overall security maturity and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly monitor domain registration status and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered around Vue.js for frontend interactivity, supported by Google Maps API for location services and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. Analytics and marketing integrations include TikTok Analytics, Bing Ads, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing approach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the content.
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.
