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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

The website operates as a government-supported service platform with a focus on education and workforce development. Its business model centers on providing free advisory services and facilitating access to training resources. The partnership ecosystem includes major regional government and economic development entities, enhancing credibility and reach. The platform is positioned as a trusted intermediary between training providers and end users, with a clear focus on regional labor market needs. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel primarily via web forms, consistent with public service operations.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS and implements a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism with opt-in/out choices for analytics tracking via Matomo. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, indicating room for improvement in HTTP security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for a public information site but could benefit from enhanced security headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve security posture.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding direct contact information (email/phone) for general inquiries to improve user accessibility.
  4. Update jQuery to a more recent version to mitigate potential vulnerabilities associated with legacy libraries.
  5. Regularly audit and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving GDPR requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.10.2, jQuery UI, ResponsiveSlides.js, and Slimbox for UI components. The site uses multiple CSS files for styling and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with some legacy scripts that could be modernized. SEO is supported by meta tags including description, keywords, and viewport settings. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and semantic HTML elements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
