Risk levelHigh

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

Ancora Chile is a well-established technology partner company founded in 1984, specializing in brand representation, project development, technical services, and product commercialization primarily in the marine and aquaculture sectors within Chile and parts of Latin America. The company has a solid market position with exclusive representation of 14 leading brands and a medium-sized operational footprint. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and user experience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins like Revolution Slider and uses Google Analytics for tracking. However, some technical aspects such as outdated jQuery and missing security headers present moderate security risks. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Contact information is available mainly through a contact form, with no direct emails or phone numbers visible. Overall, the website is functional and credible but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Ancora Chile operates in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, focusing on marine and aquaculture industries. Their business model revolves around B2B services including brand representation, technical support, and project engineering solutions. The company leverages exclusive partnerships with 14 brands, providing a competitive advantage in the regional market. Their client base includes fishing companies, aquaculture plants, and industrial clients across Chile. The company demonstrates growth and stability with 40 years of history and a medium-sized operation. The website supports their business by showcasing services, projects, and brand partnerships, although direct contact details are limited to a form. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The company could improve transparency and customer trust by publishing more detailed contact and compliance information.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the site's defense against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12.4) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly patched. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF or input sanitization mechanisms are visible in the HTML. There is no published security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure program. Google Analytics is used without visible cookie consent, which may raise privacy compliance concerns. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, updating libraries, and adding privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with a consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and communication.
  5. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.3.18, using common plugins like Revolution Slider and Slick Carousel. It employs jQuery 1.12.4, which is outdated and may pose security risks. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking. The site uses responsive design techniques and loads fonts from Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with some heavy slider elements. Accessibility features are basic, with no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks detected. SEO is basic with meta description and title tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
