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. 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 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

      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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The foundation's business model focuses on non-profit activities funded and supported by CaixaBank, targeting social welfare, cultural enrichment, scientific research, and education. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing history, extensive program portfolio, and strong brand recognition in Spain. Revenue streams are primarily from banking-related endowments and donations. The target customer segments include socially vulnerable groups, educational institutions, cultural organizations, and research entities. Growth indicators include digital presence expansion and active engagement through social media and online platforms. The partnership ecosystem is broad, involving governmental bodies, NGOs, and private sector collaborators. Strategic observations highlight the foundation's commitment to transparency, compliance, and leveraging technology for outreach and impact measurement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, domain registration protections, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy suggests opportunities for enhancement. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts necessitates ongoing vigilance to prevent supply chain risks. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, indicating a potential gap in transparency or communication. Overall, the foundation maintains a secure and compliant web presence appropriate for its sector and audience.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript frameworks such as React and Clay UI components. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Twitter Ads for marketing and analytics purposes, all managed with user consent via a cookie banner. The site is hosted under a domain registered with EuroDNS S.A., with domain security statuses clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited enabled. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, and mobile responsiveness is good. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from enhanced security headers and DNSSEC implementation to reduce attack surface and improve trustworthiness.
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.
