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

The Asociación Empresarial Hotelera de Madrid (AEHM) is a prominent industry association representing over 300 hospitality establishments in the Madrid region, encompassing hotels, hostels, and apartments with more than 75,000 accommodation places. The organization serves as a key advocate and promoter of the hotel sector, providing services such as employment facilitation, event management, and sector representation. Their website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, featuring comprehensive content and clear navigation tailored to industry stakeholders and professionals. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies and plugins, including Yoast SEO for search optimization and Complianz for GDPR cookie compliance. The presence of Google Analytics and Metricool tracking indicates moderate user behavior tracking, balanced with visible cookie consent mechanisms ensuring privacy compliance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are adequately addressed, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent banners, but lacks explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of WHOIS data due to registry restrictions limits domain trust verification, though the website's professional presentation and consistent branding support its legitimacy. Overall, AEHM's digital presence reflects a mature and credible organization within the hospitality sector, with room for improvement in security transparency and WHOIS data availability to enhance trust and compliance posture.

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

  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"

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

AEHM holds a strong market position as the voice of the hotel sector in Madrid, leveraging its network of over 300 establishments to influence tourism and employment policies. Its business model focuses on advocacy, sector promotion, and employment facilitation, including a talent pool portal in partnership with external platforms. The association targets hotel operators, hospitality professionals, and employers, providing relevant content, events, and employment services. The organization's digital ecosystem integrates social media channels and SEO strategies to maintain visibility and engagement. While revenue streams are not explicitly detailed, the association likely relies on membership fees and service offerings. Strategic partnerships, such as with app.bewanted.com for employment services, enhance its value proposition. Growth indicators include active content updates and event management, positioning AEHM as a key stakeholder in Madrid's tourism industry.

Security posture

AEHM demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. The site avoids exposing sensitive information and uses reputable plugins and scripts. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for enhancement. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected. The site does not provide a security.txt file or dedicated incident response contacts, which could improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for an industry association, but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening to mitigate emerging threats and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and communication.
  4. Seek to obtain and publish WHOIS data or use verified domain registration to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with Elementor 3.32.4 as the page builder, leveraging a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Complianz GDPR plugin, and Jet Menu for navigation. It integrates Google Analytics and Metricool for analytics and tracking. The site uses FontAwesome for icons and jQuery for scripting. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses external resources from trusted domains, ensuring reliability. Technical risks are low but could be reduced further by enhancing security headers and formalizing security policies.
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.
