University College Isle of Man · Education · Isle of Man
Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, SSL/TLS and 1 other check.
University College Isle of Man is a well-established educational institution serving the Isle of Man community with a broad range of educational offerings including further education, higher education, apprenticeships, and adult learning courses. The website reflects a medium-sized institution with a consistent brand presence and a clear focus on student services and community engagement. The institution positions itself as the primary provider of higher and further education on the island, supported by a history dating back to 1975. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, targeting students, adult learners, and local employers. Technically, the website employs a moderately modern technology stack including jQuery, Font Awesome, Owl Carousel, and Typekit fonts, hosted likely on a platform using Umbraco CMS. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and a clear navigation structure. However, some technologies like jQuery 2.2.4 are outdated and could pose security risks. Performance is moderate, and accessibility is basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by og:url https) and implements a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The site does not appear to use extensive tracking or analytics, which supports privacy compliance but limits marketing insights. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional with a strong business credibility score. The main risks relate to potential security header omissions and the use of older JavaScript libraries. Strategic improvements in security policies, incident response transparency, and technical modernization would enhance the institution's digital maturity and security posture.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data
What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception
What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS
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.

What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
