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

UNIVERSEH is a European Space University dedicated to providing high-level education and research programs focused on space studies. It operates as a consortium of European universities and research institutions, offering courses, mobility programs, and research projects to students, researchers, staff, stakeholders, and citizens interested in space and humanity. The website reflects a well-structured and professionally designed platform with a clear focus on education and research in the space sector. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Elementor and Yoast SEO, and it integrates Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers are not detected and incident response information is absent. Overall, the domain registration is consistent with the business purpose, registered through BELNET, a reputable academic registrar. The site maintains a strong social media presence, enhancing its trustworthiness and outreach.

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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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 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

UNIVERSEH positions itself uniquely as the only European university alliance dedicated to space education and research, leveraging partnerships with multiple European universities. Its business model revolves around education services, research collaboration, and community engagement through events and citizen science platforms. The target audience includes students, researchers, academic staff, stakeholders, and the general public interested in space. The organization benefits from EU co-funding, which supports its legitimacy and growth potential. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized educational institution with a focus on innovation and collaboration. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized European universities and EU educational initiatives, positioning UNIVERSEH well within the academic and research market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a missed opportunity to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and social media widgets introduces moderate tracking but no apparent security risks. Overall, the site is secure but could improve compliance and incident management visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to strengthen web security.
  3. Add a dedicated security or incident response page with contact information for reporting issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear contact information including phone and email.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It employs Google Analytics via MonsterInsights for traffic analysis and includes social media integration with Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube. The site uses jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements and animations. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and responsive design. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. However, the lack of security headers and privacy compliance documents indicates areas for technical and policy improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found but the domain is registered with BELNET, suggesting academic hosting infrastructure.
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.
