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

Aragón Investiga is a regional government initiative focused on promoting research, development, and innovation (R&D+i) through public funding instruments in the Aragón region of Spain. The website serves as an informational platform to showcase funding opportunities and support mechanisms for research activities. It targets researchers, public institutions, and innovation stakeholders within the region. The business model is primarily informational and promotional, aligned with public sector objectives to foster innovation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with SEO optimization via Yoast and uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with consistent branding. Performance is moderate, and accessibility features are basic but adequate for the target audience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes an opt-out mechanism for Google Analytics tracking. However, it lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages found. Overall, the website appears legitimate and trustworthy as a government information portal. The lack of WHOIS data is due to Red.es restrictions common for .es domains, and the domain age aligns with the website's active content since 2021. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy disclosures, implementing security headers, and providing clear contact information for security and general inquiries.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

Aragón Investiga occupies a niche as a government-backed platform promoting R&D funding in Aragón, Spain. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing and regional focus, providing authoritative information on public funding instruments. The business model is informational with no direct revenue streams, serving public sector goals. Target customers include researchers, academic institutions, and innovation entities in Aragón. Growth indicators include active content updates and social media presence. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes integration with public services and external tools like Jitsi for meetings. Operationally, the site is stable but could benefit from expanded transparency and user engagement features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Google Analytics includes an opt-out mechanism, indicating some privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There are no visible vulnerabilities or malware indicators. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing explicit privacy policies. Incident response readiness is unclear as no security contact information is provided. The security culture appears basic, typical for informational government sites but with room for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and general inquiries.
  4. Conduct a privacy impact assessment to ensure full GDPR compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress with Yoast SEO and Google Analytics integration. It uses modern web fonts and icon libraries such as Font Awesome. External dependencies include Google Maps APIs and Jitsi for conferencing. The site is mobile responsive with a consistent design language. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing assets and leveraging caching. The lack of security headers and limited accessibility features represent technical debt. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but HTTPS and domain configuration appear correctly implemented. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could be modernized for enhanced security and performance.
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.
