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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention dominios.es, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business operates as an essential government entity managing the .es domain namespace, with a clear monopoly in this sector within Spain. Its business model revolves around domain registration and management services, supporting a broad audience including end users and registrars. The entity benefits from strong partnerships with national and international domain organizations and cybersecurity institutes, enhancing its credibility and operational effectiveness. The website content and certifications reinforce its authoritative market position. Growth indicators include active news updates and collaborations in cybersecurity. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a controlled communication channel typical of government entities.

Security posture

The security maturity of Dominios.es is high, with enforced HTTPS, use of Content Security Policy with nonce, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. The presence of ISO 27001 certification indicates adherence to recognized information security management standards. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses trusted third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager responsibly. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and frameworks.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options if not already present.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It uses CookiesJSR for cookie consent management and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, with a clean and consistent design. Performance is moderate, likely due to the use of multiple CSS and JS assets, but no critical performance issues were detected. The site is hosted on a secure HTTPS infrastructure with a Content Security Policy implemented. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to enhance technical documentation and security transparency.
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.
