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

Latin American House is a small non-profit organization based in the United Kingdom, established in 1983, providing immigration advice, cultural activities, community support, and educational programs primarily for Latin American communities in London. The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and offering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. The organization maintains an active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, enhancing community engagement. Technically, the website uses HTTPS with HSTS enabled, ensuring secure communications. It integrates Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking and Weglot for multilingual support. However, the site lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided on the site, limiting direct communication channels. From a security perspective, the site follows basic best practices with HTTPS and HSTS but could improve by adding additional security headers and publishing incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data indicates the domain is not properly registered under Nominet UK rules, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and clearer contact information to improve trust and security posture.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Latin American House operates as a community-focused non-profit entity serving Latin American populations in the UK. Its market positioning is that of an established community organization with a history dating back to 1983. The business model centers on providing advisory, cultural, and educational services rather than commercial transactions. Revenue streams likely include donations and grants, as indicated by the presence of a donation link to localgiving.org. The target customer segment is Latin American immigrants and residents seeking support and integration assistance. The organization leverages partnerships with platforms like Localgiving for fundraising. The website's digital presence supports community outreach but lacks detailed business disclosures or certifications. Growth indicators are not explicit but the sustained online presence and social media activity suggest ongoing engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options limits defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The WHOIS inconsistency regarding domain registration further impacts trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial informational site but requires improvements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve communication and credibility.
  4. Publish a security incident response plan or contact channel to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  5. Resolve domain registration inconsistencies by ensuring the primary domain is properly registered and WHOIS data is accurate.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and Weglot for multilingual support. The site is hosted on Squarespace's CDN infrastructure, providing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO is supported through proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site does not exhibit technical debt or deprecated technologies. However, the absence of advanced security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for modernization. Performance is moderate, with no significant delays or errors detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small non-profit but could benefit from 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.
