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

Code 4 DEI is a Spanish-language initiative launched in 2023 by Software Guru focused on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the technology industry. The initiative aims to raise awareness about challenges faced by underrepresented groups and to eliminate barriers limiting their potential. The website serves as a platform for community building, education, mentorship, and advocacy, targeting individuals interested in technology and social inclusion. The business model appears to be community and event-driven with collaboration from partner organizations. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including the Hugo static site generator, Bootstrap for responsive design, and hosted on Netlify. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and uses Font Awesome for icons. The site is mobile-optimized and performs well, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. However, it lacks a CMS and advanced accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses. DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers or policies are published. There is no privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The domain registration is recent but consistent with the initiative's launch and is registered transparently without privacy protection. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security policies, and DNS security improvements. The lack of privacy and cookie policies and incident response information are notable gaps. Strategic recommendations include implementing these policies, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security and incident response details to improve trust and 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

8 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

Code 4 DEI positions itself as a socially responsible initiative within the Mexican technology sector, focusing on diversity and inclusion. Its competitive advantage lies in its clear mission, community engagement, and partnerships with recognized organizations like Software Guru and Dev Day 4 Women. The business model is non-commercial, emphasizing education, mentorship, and advocacy rather than direct revenue generation. Target customers include technology professionals, students, and underrepresented groups seeking inclusion. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active event promotion. The partnership ecosystem is strong with related domains and social media presence, supporting outreach and impact.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies limits its security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of incident response contact information. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but no evident security risks. Overall, the security culture appears nascent, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies including GDPR compliance and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website.
  4. Provide explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information with dedicated contact channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built as a static site using Hugo, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons. Hosting is on Netlify, which provides modern infrastructure and identity management capabilities. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site loads quickly and is mobile-optimized, though accessibility features are basic. There is no CMS detected, which simplifies maintenance but limits dynamic content management. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the site's purpose but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
