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

The AL-INVEST Verde website represents a European Union funded program aimed at fostering sustainable growth and job creation in Latin America through support for green innovation, public sector assistance, and intellectual property rights. The program operates across 12 countries and collaborates with multiple partner organizations, positioning itself as a key player in sustainable development initiatives in the region. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress stack with Elementor and several plugins supporting events, multilingual content, and user engagement. However, the site suffers from critical security shortcomings, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, which undermines user trust and data security. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive policies and consent mechanisms, reflecting adherence to GDPR standards. Overall, while the content and business positioning are strong, the security posture requires urgent improvement to safeguard users and enhance credibility.

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"

      • 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';…

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

AL-INVEST Verde is positioned as a non-profit, EU-funded program targeting public and private sectors in Latin America, focusing on sustainable economic development and intellectual property rights. Its business model relies on partnerships with governmental and international organizations, delivering services such as innovation support for SMEs, technical assistance to public entities, and intellectual property promotion. The program maintains active communication channels including social media and newsletters, enhancing stakeholder engagement. The website content is professionally presented and multilingual, catering to a diverse audience. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized entities like sequa gGmbH, FIIAPP, IILA, and EUIPO, which strengthens its market credibility and operational reach.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and critical security headers such as HSTS are missing. Email security is also lacking with no DMARC records, and DNS integrity protections like DNSSEC are not implemented. While no active vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the overall configuration falls short of best practices. The absence of domain protection locks increases the risk of unauthorized domain transfers. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no direct security contact channels are available. These gaps present significant risks that should be addressed promptly to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels.
  5. Add DMARC DNS records and enable DNSSEC to enhance email and DNS security.
  6. Activate domain protection locks to prevent unauthorized domain transfers.
  7. Regularly audit and update plugins and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance contact information transparency by providing official emails and phone numbers.
  9. Improve accessibility features and conduct performance optimization for faster load times.
  10. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving compliance requirements.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.1 with Elementor 3.29.2 as the primary page builder, supplemented by plugins such as Yoast SEO, Modern Events Calendar Lite, Ultimate Member, and Contact Form 7. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Fonts (Work Sans). Hosting is provided by agenturserver.de, as indicated by DNS and MX records. Performance metrics are not available, but the site appears to have moderate load characteristics. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented with meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers is a critical technical deficiency. The site uses Matomo and Metricool for analytics and Brevo for email marketing. Overall, the infrastructure is modern but requires security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
