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

Arquitectos Urbanistas e Ingenieros Asociados S.L. (AUIA) is a well-established Spanish firm specializing in architecture, urbanism, and engineering with a strong focus on sustainable building practices. Founded in 1969, the company serves both public and private sectors, offering a broad range of services including residential architecture, urban development, industrial construction, and rehabilitation of historic buildings. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting clients interested in sustainable and efficient architectural solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and Slider Revolution, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices, although performance is moderate and accessibility features are basic. Security is adequate with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. From a security perspective, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of published security policies and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. WHOIS data is unavailable due to Red.es restrictions, but the domain's privacy protection is typical and justified for a professional services firm. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and credible digital presence with moderate risk. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing clear security and incident response policies, and improving technical performance and accessibility to further strengthen the company's digital maturity and client trust.

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

7 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: 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

AUIA occupies a solid position in the Spanish architecture and engineering market, leveraging over five decades of experience and a multidisciplinary team. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialization in sustainable and bioclimatic architecture, which aligns with growing environmental concerns and regulatory trends. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on project design and execution for public and private clients. Revenue streams likely derive from project contracts and consultancy. The target customers include government entities, private developers, and organizations seeking sustainable construction solutions. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear service offerings and contact channels, supporting growth and client acquisition. Partnerships with marketing service providers like Doctimiza indicate an active approach to digital marketing. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner, indicating compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the lack of security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and absence of published security policies or incident response information limit transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate risks. The site does not display any signs of malware or phishing. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a professional services website but with opportunities for enhancement in policy communication and technical defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures on the website to improve transparency and client trust.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website performance and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance with standards.
  5. Consider adding explicit contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.4.18 with a combination of plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Contact Form 7 for form handling, Slider Revolution for visual content, and WP PostRatings for user interaction. The theme 'Grafik' is used with custom CSS for styling. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and Google Maps APIs. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and various plugin scripts. The site is mobile responsive and uses a drag-and-drop page builder (Visual Composer). Performance is moderate, with some heavy visual elements and parallax effects. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for website and webpage schema. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. No CDN or advanced caching indicators were detected.
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.
