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

ABNT Catalogo is a professional e-commerce platform operated by ABNT, the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, providing access to Brazilian technical standards, certifications, and related educational resources. The platform targets businesses and professionals requiring official standards for compliance and quality assurance. The website is well-branded, consistent, and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. It integrates Google Analytics for user tracking and provides contact information including email and phone support. Technically, the site is built on a mature ASP.NET WebForms framework with Telerik UI components, indicating a stable but somewhat legacy infrastructure. Performance is moderate with basic SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks some advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing additional security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected, and the content is safe for general audiences.

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

7 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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

ABNT Catalogo holds a strong market position as the official Brazilian standards provider platform, leveraging its institutional backing by ABNT. The business model focuses on e-commerce sales of technical standards and certifications, supplemented by educational offerings. The target customer segments include businesses, certification bodies, and professionals in regulated industries. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes related ABNT sites for education, collections, and national inquiries, enhancing its service breadth. Growth indicators include active domain registration and continuous content updates. The company benefits from trust signals such as official domain usage, clear contact information, and institutional links.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling. However, the absence of advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options presents potential risks such as clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Compliance gaps include lack of cookie consent mechanisms and limited privacy compliance indicators. Incident response readiness and security policy disclosures are not evident. The security culture appears basic but functional, with room for enhancement in transparency and user protection.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  2. Add advanced security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and frameworks to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with Telerik UI components, indicating a legacy but stable technology stack. It uses Google Analytics for tracking and includes basic meta tags for SEO. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and basic accessibility features such as font size adjustment and contrast toggling. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and modern frontend practices. The hosting environment is not explicitly identified but likely Windows-based given the technology stack. Technical debt is present due to legacy frameworks, suggesting modernization opportunities to improve maintainability and security.
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.
