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

ESpanix operates as a leading internet exchange point and connectivity hub in Southern Europe, primarily serving Spain and the Iberian Peninsula. The company offers a range of services including IP transit, datacenter hosting, bespoke connectivity solutions, and a high-precision time synchronization service. With over 25 years of experience, ESpanix positions itself as a critical infrastructure provider facilitating secure, low-latency interconnections for telecommunications and network operators. Technically, the website demonstrates a modern and professional design with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The technology stack is standard web technologies with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. Performance is moderate, and SEO is basic but adequate for the business domain. The site uses HTTPS with integrity checks on resources, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, ESpanix shows strong compliance with recognized frameworks such as ISO 9001 and the Spanish National Security Scheme (ENS), aligned with the European NIS2 directive. Certifications like WELL, LEED, and WiredScore Platinum further reinforce their commitment to quality and security. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises questions about domain registration transparency. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could be improved. Overall, the website and business present a trustworthy and professional image with solid security and compliance posture. The main risks relate to domain registration opacity and minor gaps in privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and implementing cookie consent to improve regulatory 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. 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';…
  2. 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

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

Business context

Business profile

ESpanix holds a strong market position as the primary internet exchange point in Southern Europe, serving over 170 customers with significant infrastructure capacity. Their business model focuses on providing connectivity services, datacenter hosting, and bespoke network solutions to telecommunications companies and enterprises. The company leverages certifications and compliance with national and European security frameworks to differentiate itself. Growth indicators include recent news about participation in global tech events and achieving high security certification levels. The absence of social media presence and limited external partnerships visible on the website suggests a focused, niche B2B approach. Revenue streams likely derive from connectivity service fees, datacenter rentals, and specialized time synchronization services.

Security posture

ESpanix demonstrates a mature security posture with adherence to ISO 9001 and the Spanish National Security Scheme (ENS) at a medium level, aligned with the NIS2 directive. The website uses HTTPS and resource integrity checks, but lacks explicit security headers and public incident response contacts. No forms or inputs collect sensitive data, reducing attack surface. The company’s certifications and continuous operation since 1988 indicate strong operational security. However, the missing WHOIS data and lack of vulnerability disclosure reduce transparency. There is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security culture appears robust but could benefit from enhanced transparency and user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website for security issues.
  5. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data absence to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with FontAwesome icons and CSS variables for styling. It does not appear to use a common CMS or advanced JavaScript frameworks. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes integrity attributes on CSS and JS resources, indicating attention to resource security. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but minimal structured data. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA labels and semantic HTML but could be improved. Hosting provider and platform details are not disclosed. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts, indicating a privacy-conscious approach or minimal digital marketing focus.
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.
