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

Observatori Fiscalitat Residus is a specialized initiative by Fundació ENT, established in 2018, focusing on monitoring and promoting fiscal instruments related to waste management in Spain. The website serves as a resource hub providing updated data, reports, and scientific publications to support public administrations and stakeholders in adopting effective fiscal policies. The organization operates as a non-profit entity with a clear mission to improve waste management financing and incentives through taxation and pay-per-generation systems. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO and WPBakery Page Builder. It employs modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and implements a cookie consent banner, indicating some level of privacy compliance. However, it lacks important security headers and does not publish a privacy policy or terms of service, which are gaps in compliance and user trust. The WHOIS data is incomplete, limiting domain trust analysis, but the presence of official contact information and active social media profiles supports legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a niche non-profit focused on environmental fiscal policy. Strategic improvements in privacy documentation, security headers, and WHOIS transparency would enhance its security posture and compliance standing.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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

  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 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';…

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Observatori Fiscalitat Residus operates in a niche market segment within the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on fiscal policies for waste management in Spain. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized knowledge and continuous monitoring of fiscal instruments such as waste taxes and pay-per-generation systems. The business model centers on research, information dissemination, and supporting public policy development rather than commercial revenue generation. The target customers include public administrations, researchers, and policy makers interested in environmental fiscal tools. The organization maintains partnerships with entities like Fundació ENT and has an active presence on multiple social media platforms, enhancing its outreach and credibility. Growth indicators include regular updates to data and reports, and openness to collaborations with academic and governmental institutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published privacy policy and incident response contact information represents compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. The WHOIS data is incomplete, which may affect domain trustworthiness. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, enhancements are needed to strengthen the security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response communication.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data transparency by ensuring accurate and complete domain registration information.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie consent mechanisms and privacy compliance measures to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Salient theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO and WPBakery Page Builder. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics for interactivity and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors or broken elements detected. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site lacks advanced security headers and some privacy documentation, which are technical debt areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small non-profit website but could benefit from modernization in security and compliance aspects.
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.
