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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 university holds a stable market position as a medium-sized private educational entity in Spain, focusing on specialized academic programs. Its business model revolves around tuition-based education services with a clear target audience of students and professionals. The website's integration with multiple third-party analytics and marketing platforms suggests active engagement in digital marketing and user behavior analysis. The absence of explicit contact information in the analyzed content may indicate reliance on internal or authenticated communication channels. The institution appears to maintain a consistent branding strategy and leverages trusted external services for content delivery and user engagement. No suspicious or unrelated domains were identified as partners or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of anti-CSRF tokens. Cookie consent is granular and GDPR compliant, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not detected in the provided content, representing an area for enhancement. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were found. The site does not display any signs of malware or phishing. Incident response and security policy documents were not found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an educational institution but could benefit from additional hardening and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Regularly update Drupal core and modules to the latest supported versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  3. Publish clear security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider providing explicit contact information for security and general inquiries to facilitate communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 7 CMS, which is a mature but aging platform requiring careful maintenance. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel indicates a comprehensive approach to analytics and user consent management. The site loads multiple external scripts asynchronously, which helps performance but requires monitoring for third-party risks. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but use of Microsoft Azure services is implied. Performance is moderate, with opportunities for improvement in accessibility and modern security practices. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but should be modernized over time to maintain security and performance.
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.
