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

The website ejercito.mil.co represents the official online presence of the Colombian National Army, a government entity responsible for national defense and military operations. The domain is mature and registered consistently with the organization's identity, reflecting a legitimate and authoritative institution. However, the website content is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) challenge page that blocks access unless JavaScript and cookies are enabled. This limits the ability to analyze the actual website content and user experience. From a technical perspective, the site is hosted behind Cloudflare, which provides security and performance services. Despite the presence of multiple security headers enforcing strict cross-origin policies, the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security gap. The lack of HTTPS undermines secure communication and user trust. Performance metrics are unavailable due to the blocked content, but the presence of Cloudflare suggests potential for good performance once accessible. Security posture is weakened by the missing SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, although other security headers are well configured. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are detected on the landing page, and no contact information or forms are visible, which limits transparency and user engagement. The domain WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and low expiry risk, supporting trust in the entity behind the site. Overall, the website currently presents a high risk due to inaccessibility and lack of HTTPS, which are critical for secure and trustworthy online presence. Strategic recommendations include immediate installation of a valid SSL certificate, enabling HTTPS, improving accessibility beyond the WAF challenge, and publishing essential policies and contact information to enhance compliance and user trust.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Ejercito Nacional de Colombia operates as a government military institution focused on national defense and public security within Colombia. The domain's maturity and registration details align with a longstanding government entity. The business model is public sector service provision, targeting Colombian citizens, military personnel, and government stakeholders. The website serves as an official communication channel but currently lacks visible content due to security restrictions. There is no evidence of commercial activities or partnerships visible from the domain or website content. The use of Cloudflare indicates a focus on security and performance, although the lack of HTTPS is a notable gap. The entity's market position is authoritative within the government sector, with no subsidiaries or parent companies indicated. The absence of marketing or advertising content aligns with the non-commercial nature of the organization.

Security posture

The security posture of ejercito.mil.co is mixed. On one hand, the domain benefits from Cloudflare's security services and employs multiple security headers enforcing strict cross-origin policies, which are positive indicators. On the other hand, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical vulnerability that severely impacts secure communications and user trust. TLS protocols are disabled, and no HSTS or OCSP stapling is implemented, further weakening the security stance. The website is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare WAF challenge, which while providing protection against attacks, also limits legitimate user access and content visibility. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, indicating gaps in transparency and security culture. Overall, the site requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS deployment and public security policy disclosures to meet modern security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  3. Review and optimize Cloudflare WAF settings to reduce legitimate user access friction while maintaining security.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and transparency.
  5. Add clear contact information and incident response channels to enhance user trust and security readiness.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare, leveraging its DNS and security infrastructure. DNS records show multiple A and AAAA addresses, MX records for email routing, and TXT records including SPF and DMARC configurations, indicating proper email security setup. However, the SSL certificate is missing or invalid, and no TLS protocols are enabled, resulting in no HTTPS support. The site uses a Cloudflare challenge page that requires JavaScript and cookies, blocking direct content access. No CMS or specific web frameworks are detected from the limited HTML content. Performance data is unavailable due to blocked content, but Cloudflare's presence suggests potential for good performance. The site lacks SEO optimization and accessibility features beyond basic defaults. Overall, the technical infrastructure is partially modern but critically incomplete in SSL/TLS deployment and user accessibility.
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.
