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

ALADI – Asociación Latinoamericana de Diseño is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting design culture and activities across Latin America. The website serves as a platform for sharing news, events, congresses, and assemblies related to design, targeting design professionals and cultural institutions in the region. The business model focuses on community engagement, event organization, and media dissemination to strengthen the Latin American design ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins for social media integration, galleries, and analytics. However, the site suffers from an invalid SSL certificate and lacks advanced security configurations, which poses risks to user data and trust. Performance is slow, and there is no visible cookie or privacy consent mechanism, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is functional and content-rich but requires significant improvements in security and privacy to meet modern standards.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 regional leadership position in Latin American design promotion, leveraging partnerships with various cultural and educational institutions as evidenced by multiple external banners and links. The business model is centered on non-profit activities including congresses, assemblies, and media outreach such as radio and online content. The target audience includes design professionals and cultural stakeholders in Latin America. The website's content quality is good with consistent branding, but the lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers limits direct engagement. The partnership ecosystem is broad, involving educational, cultural, and commercial entities. Growth indicators include active event coverage and social media presence, though digital maturity is moderate due to technical and security shortcomings.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak. The absence of a valid SSL certificate exposes users to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and undermines trust. The lack of security headers, HSTS, DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA records indicates minimal implementation of best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, and no data protection officer contact is provided. Google Analytics is used without visible cookie consent, raising privacy compliance concerns under GDPR and similar regulations. The site is vulnerable to risks associated with unencrypted traffic and lacks mechanisms to protect email integrity or DNS security. Overall, the security maturity is low, requiring urgent remediation to protect user data and organizational reputation.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to secure all website traffic.
  2. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  3. Configure DMARC, SPF, and DKIM DNS records to improve email security and reduce spoofing risks.
  4. Enable DNSSEC to protect DNS queries from tampering and spoofing.
  5. Add CAA DNS records to restrict which certificate authorities can issue certificates for the domain.
  6. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  7. Introduce a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  8. Establish an incident response plan and publish contact information for security incidents or abuse reports.
  9. Improve website performance by optimizing resource loading and reducing page size.
  10. Enhance accessibility and mobile optimization to improve user experience across devices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.3.2 with a MH Magazine Lite theme and uses several plugins including BW Facebook Feed, Lightbox, Responsive Gallery with Lightbox, and AddToAny for social sharing. The hosting provider is identified as 'servidoraweb.net' with an IPv4 address of 167.250.5.43. The site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support modern TLS protocols. Performance metrics indicate a slow load time (~10.6 seconds) and a large page size (~1MB) with 144 resources loaded. The site uses Google Fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. JavaScript libraries include jQuery 3.7.0 and various plugin scripts. The site has basic SEO elements but lacks advanced optimization. There is no structured data (JSON-LD) or Open Graph metadata detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated and in need of modernization and security hardening.
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.
