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

7 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 platform serves a broad industrial market in Mexico, covering numerous sectors from manufacturing to logistics and technology. Its business model revolves around facilitating direct connections between buyers and suppliers, offering memberships and advertising opportunities to suppliers. The company leverages digital marketing and social media to maintain visibility and engagement. The long domain age and transparent WHOIS data support its legitimacy. The platform's extensive sector coverage and interactive features like chat and forums indicate a mature ecosystem aimed at industrial commerce growth. Revenue likely derives from supplier memberships, advertising, and lead generation services. The company maintains a strong presence in the Mexican industrial B2B space with a focus on digital transformation and business networking.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA integrated on forms to prevent spam. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No security policy or incident response contact information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism also poses a compliance risk under GDPR and similar regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by adopting additional headers, publishing security policies, and implementing cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact details to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom-built platform with integration of popular libraries and services such as Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, Google Analytics for tracking, and Cloudflare for CDN and security. The front-end employs Bootstrap-like responsive design ensuring good mobile usability. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred JavaScript. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or proprietary solution. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved accessibility and security header configurations. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and interactive elements supporting business functions.
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.
