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

ALEF Getafe is a local government agency dedicated to employment and training services in the municipality of Getafe, Spain. The agency provides a range of services including job placement, training courses, virtual campus access, and employer support. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and targets job seekers and local businesses. It serves as a key resource for employment initiatives in the region, supported by official branding and certifications such as EFQM. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap 5 and jQuery. It uses HTTPS with Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security and includes cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. While the site lacks some advanced security headers, it maintains a good security posture overall. The security posture is solid with enforced HTTPS and anti-bot measures, but could be improved by adding additional HTTP security headers and publishing a formal security policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website represents a trustworthy and professional local government service platform with moderate technical sophistication and good privacy and security practices. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust analysis but does not detract from the evident legitimacy of the agency. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and maintaining up-to-date software to mitigate risks.

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. 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

ALEF Getafe operates as a public sector entity under the Getafe City Council, focusing on employment and vocational training. Its market position is that of a local leader in workforce development, offering services to unemployed residents and local employers. The business model is government-funded service provision with no direct revenue generation. The agency leverages partnerships with external training platforms and hosts employment fairs to enhance its offerings. The website content and linked domains indicate a well-integrated ecosystem supporting local employment. Growth indicators include ongoing training programs and digital transformation projects. The agency maintains active social media engagement and transparent communication channels, reinforcing its community presence and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA v3 protecting forms against automated abuse. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No evidence of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data was found. Incident response information and security policies are not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for a government service website but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation and uses Font Awesome for iconography. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and scripts from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with no major bottlenecks detected. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured navigation. The site lacks advanced security headers but benefits from HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. Technical debt appears low, with opportunities for modernization including enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements.
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.
