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. 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

  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.

    • 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

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

ELB Learning operates in the corporate training and eLearning sector, leveraging gamification and AI to differentiate its offerings. Their business model is primarily B2B SaaS combined with service offerings such as custom eLearning development. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including HubSpot, eLearning Brothers, and VR training providers. Their market positioning is solid with a focus on innovation in gamified learning and AI-enhanced training. Revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, custom development services, and training content sales. The company targets mid to large enterprises seeking engaging training solutions. Growth indicators include active marketing, product demos, and multiple product lines. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in AI and immersive learning technologies to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The security maturity of ELB Learning is good, with HTTPS enforced site-wide and SOC 2 Type II certification indicating robust internal controls. The presence of recaptcha on forms and cookie consent banners aligns with best practices for user data protection and privacy compliance. The integration of multiple analytics and tracking tools is managed with visible privacy policies, though the user tracking level is moderate. No direct vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the website content. However, the absence of publicly available incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and customer trust but could be enhanced by formalizing incident response communication and vulnerability reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet or exceed WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack primarily using Webflow CMS, integrated with HubSpot for marketing automation and form management. It employs multiple analytics and tracking services including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and Crazy Egg, indicating a data-driven approach to user experience optimization. Performance is fast with optimized images and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD BreadcrumbList). Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured. Technical risks are minimal but include dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring. Opportunities exist to further modernize by consolidating analytics tools and enhancing accessibility features.
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.
