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

DragonJARCON is a prominent cybersecurity conference held in Medellín, Colombia, organized by the DragonJAR community. It serves as a key event for cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts in Latin America, offering high-level technical talks, networking opportunities, and practical learning experiences. The event targets Spanish-speaking audiences interested in hacking and information security. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and LearnPress, integrating modern tracking and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. The site demonstrates good SEO, mobile optimization, and accessibility standards. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes essential security headers, but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance gap. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the professional presentation and social proof mitigate concerns. Overall, the site is well-positioned as a leading cybersecurity event platform in Colombia with room for improvement in privacy compliance and domain transparency.

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

5 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.

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Business profile

DragonJARCON holds a strong market position as Colombia's leading cybersecurity conference and one of the best in Latin America. Its business model revolves around ticket sales and sponsorships, with partnerships including payment processors like Payco and sponsors visible on the site. The event attracts a medium-sized audience of cybersecurity professionals and learners, emphasizing Spanish-language content and practical skills. The presence of testimonials and a vibrant community enhances credibility. The company operates primarily in the technology sector, focusing on cybersecurity education and community building. Growth indicators include increasing attendance, multiple editions, and expanding sponsorship tiers. The partnership ecosystem includes payment platforms and security-related service providers, supporting event logistics and marketing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and vulnerability disclosure policy indicates gaps in compliance and incident response readiness. Contact channels for security incidents are not explicitly provided. The use of third-party tracking pixels introduces moderate user tracking, which should be balanced with privacy compliance measures. Overall, the security posture is strong technically but could be enhanced by formalizing privacy and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Add data protection officer contact details if applicable to demonstrate commitment to data protection regulations.
  5. Verify and publish WHOIS domain registration details or use registrar RDDS services to improve domain transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and LearnPress for course management, indicating a robust content management system tailored for event and educational content. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, and uses Swiper for image carousels enhancing user experience. The site loads with moderate performance, is mobile optimized, and includes accessibility features. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected in the provided HTML. Opportunities exist to improve performance further by optimizing image sizes and reducing third-party script loads. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable event website.
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.
