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

Cazadores de Fake News is a Venezuelan non-governmental organization dedicated to monitoring and combating misinformation spread through social networks and instant messaging in Venezuela and Latin America. The website serves as a platform for publishing fact-check articles, educational resources, and offers a chatbot verification service via WhatsApp. The organization targets the general public concerned with misinformation and disinformation in the region. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern themes and plugins, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data is malformed and unavailable, which limits domain trust verification, but the website content and social media presence support its legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy, with room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance.

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. 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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

The organization holds a recognized position in the fact-checking and misinformation combat space within Venezuela and Latin America. Its non-profit business model focuses on public education and information verification. The website's content quality and social media integration indicate active engagement with its audience. The lack of transparent WHOIS data is a concern but may be due to privacy protection or registry issues. The organization leverages digital tools like chatbots and publishes investigative articles, positioning itself as a credible source in its niche. There is no evidence of commercial activities or partnerships beyond social media and content dissemination.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms appear to be standard WordPress search forms without sensitive data exposure. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contacts limits the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  4. Improve WHOIS transparency if possible to increase domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Blocksy theme and uses plugins such as Subscribe to Download Lite and GenerateBlocks. It loads jQuery and Google Analytics scripts, and uses Google Tag Manager for marketing analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and uses modern CSS and JavaScript. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies on Google-hosted resources. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data describing the organization and website. Accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels are present, enhancing usability for assistive technologies.
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.
