Risk levelLow

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

CEPYME500 is a Spanish business initiative focused on identifying and promoting the top 500 companies leading in business growth within Spain. The website serves as a platform to showcase these companies, providing recognition and visibility to foster further growth and innovation. The initiative is supported by reputable partners including Banco Santander, ICO, and others, enhancing its credibility and market position. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Amazon CloudFront CDN, ensuring a responsive and moderately performant user experience. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and Google reCAPTCHA integration, although some security headers and explicit privacy policies are missing. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some legitimacy concerns, but the professional presentation and partner associations mitigate this risk to some extent. Overall, the website is well-structured and serves its business purpose effectively, but improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency are recommended.

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.

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 CEPYME500 initiative operates as a recognition and promotional platform for Spanish companies excelling in growth metrics such as sales, employment, innovation, and international reach. Its business model revolves around partnerships with financial institutions, certification bodies, and industry organizations, leveraging these relationships to enhance the value proposition for member companies. The target audience includes business leaders, investors, and stakeholders interested in Spain's economic development. The website content and partner logos suggest a strong ecosystem and strategic positioning within the Spanish SME sector. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, event hosting, and publication sales. The initiative's market presence is solidified by its association with CEPYME, a known Spanish business confederation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. The presence of a CSRF token meta tag indicates some attention to secure form handling. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No explicit privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism was found, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contact information further limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. To enhance security posture, the site should implement comprehensive security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and provide clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and designate a Data Protection Officer if applicable.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It employs Owl Carousel for interactive content sliders and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for traffic analysis. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, which supports fast content delivery. The site includes Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation and uses CSRF tokens for form security. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Cards. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Technical improvements could focus on enhanced accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
