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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 business operates as a small, important entity in the professional association sector, focusing on engineering professionals in Spain and Europe. Its market position is that of a national committee affiliated with European engineering institutes. The business model centers on advocacy, certification promotion, and professional networking. The website content and structured data confirm the organization's legitimacy and focus. However, the lack of contact details and compliance documentation may limit its operational transparency and user engagement. The organization appears to be in early stages, consistent with the domain's recent registration date.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, which are positive security indicators. However, it lacks DNSSEC and important HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No published security or incident response policies were found, and no dedicated security contact channels exist. These gaps reduce the overall security posture and expose the site to potential risks. The absence of privacy and terms of service pages also indicates incomplete compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. The security score reflects these deficiencies, recommending immediate improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to meet GDPR and legal requirements.
  3. Publish security and incident response policies including dedicated contact channels for abuse or security issues.
  4. Deploy essential HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to harden the website.
  5. Include clear contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve trust and user support.

  2. Content is in Spanish and well structured with SEO optimization.
  3. No privacy or terms of service pages found, which is a compliance gap.
  4. Cookie consent mechanism is implemented via hu-manity.co scripts.
  5. No direct contact emails or phone numbers found on the homepage or metadata.
  6. No explicit security policies or incident response information published.
  7. No security headers detected, DNSSEC not enabled.
  8. Domain is very new but consistent with the organization's founding date.
  9. No signs of malicious or suspicious content.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and responsive design. SEO is enhanced with Rank Math PRO, and cookie consent is managed via hu-manity.co scripts. The site loads with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The hosting provider is a known registrar, and the domain is newly registered but consistent with the organization's founding timeline. No critical technical issues were detected, but the absence of security headers and DNSSEC represents technical debt that should be addressed to improve resilience and compliance.
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.
