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

O Parque do Barrocal is a municipal natural park located in Castelo Branco, Portugal, offering visitors a unique natural and cultural experience centered on a granitic landscape shaped over 310 million years. The park provides educational and recreational services including walking paths, observation points, and audio guides, targeting tourists, local residents, and educational groups. The website is professionally designed, consistent in branding, and supported by multiple recognized awards and certifications, enhancing its credibility. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform using modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Google Fonts. It is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though performance is moderate and accessibility features are basic. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism but lacks explicit security headers and detailed privacy or security policies. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent, but there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration aligns well with the municipal nature of the site, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security policies, headers, and incident response readiness would enhance its security posture and trust further.

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. 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

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

The park operates as a public natural and cultural heritage site managed by the Câmara Municipal de Castelo Branco. Its business model focuses on free public access combined with educational and recreational services. The site targets tourists, local residents, and educational institutions, positioning itself as a key local attraction with international recognition through awards. The partnership ecosystem includes UNESCO and various architecture and conservation organizations. The website content and external links reflect a strong local government affiliation and community engagement, with no commercial advertising or monetization evident.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and a cookie consent banner is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, the absence of HTTP security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosures or security contact channels are provided. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking services beyond cookie consent, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational municipal site but could be strengthened with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and security policy detailing data protection practices and user rights.
  3. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and libraries to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS platform, leveraging HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery 3.5.1. Google Fonts (Montserrat) are used for typography. The site includes custom JavaScript for UI interactions such as audio player controls and image magnification. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, providing reliable delivery. Performance is moderate with video backgrounds and multiple images, which may impact load times. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic, with no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks beyond standard HTML5 elements. No forms are present that collect personal data, reducing data protection risks.
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.
