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

TBS Graduates is an educational and career resource platform targeting college and university students and young professionals in Bangladesh. It operates as an initiative of The Business Standard, providing articles, job listings, admissions, and scholarship information. The platform is positioned as a niche content provider within the education sector, leveraging its parent company's brand recognition. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frontend libraries and uses Cloudflare DNS services. It has moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks some advanced accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in security and privacy transparency.

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

6 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

      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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 website serves a focused market segment of students and young professionals in Bangladesh, offering educational content and career resources. Its business model appears to be content-driven with monetization through advertising and job postings. The platform benefits from association with The Business Standard, enhancing credibility. The presence of social media channels and active content updates indicate engagement efforts. However, the lack of detailed business registrations or certifications limits deeper business intelligence. Growth potential lies in expanding services and improving compliance and security to build user trust.

Security posture

The site maintains a baseline security posture with HTTPS and domain transfer lock status. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents missed opportunities to harden security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms, which may expose the site to regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, Google Analytics, and frontend libraries like Swiper.js and jQuery Lazy. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS is managed via Cloudflare. The site is moderately performant with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No broken elements or errors were detected in the homepage content. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance tools.
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.
