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. 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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';…

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 an established educational institution with a clear international focus. Its business model revolves around providing accredited academic programs and research opportunities. The presence of a partner domain for course catalogues indicates collaboration with external academic platforms. The university targets students domestically and internationally, leveraging digital tools for outreach and student services. Growth potential is supported by active event programming and diverse course offerings. The social media ecosystem is robust, enhancing brand visibility and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with privacy regulations, though the absence of a published security policy and incident response details limits transparency. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Security headers beyond DNSSEC and HTTPS are not explicitly identified, suggesting room for improvement. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, which could impact trust in security incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response plan, including contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and ensure inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with Bootstrap and jQuery for responsive and interactive front-end design. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot indicates attention to analytics and privacy compliance. Performance appears moderate with optimized images and lazy loading for events. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive navigation and layout. SEO is supported by meta tags and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. However, hosting provider details are not evident, and some accessibility features could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience.
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.
