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

Fundación Estatal para la Formación en el Empleo (Fundae) is a Spanish government-affiliated entity dedicated to supporting and collaborating with the public employment service (SEPE) in the area of workforce training. The organization provides a variety of services including training portals, subsidy management, statistical data publication, and digital competence evaluation aimed at workers and companies across Spain. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multiple language options and a clear focus on accessibility and user experience. Technically, the site is built on the Sitefinity CMS platform and leverages modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Tag Manager. It implements cookie consent mechanisms and integrates third-party analytics and tracking tools like Metricool. The website is mobile-optimized and adheres to accessibility standards, providing a good user experience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks visible advanced security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query restrictions, but the website's official branding and government affiliation strongly support its legitimacy. Overall, Fundae's website is a professional, secure, and compliant platform that effectively serves its public service mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to further strengthen security posture.

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

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

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

Fundae occupies a strong position as a government entity supporting workforce training and employment in Spain. Its business model revolves around public funding and collaboration with the national employment service. The organization targets workers seeking skill development and companies aiming to train their employees. The website's integration with multiple training portals and subsidy platforms indicates a comprehensive ecosystem designed to facilitate access to training resources and financial support. The presence of social media channels and transparency portals enhances stakeholder engagement and trust. Growth indicators include ongoing updates, events, and new training initiatives. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving public-private collaborations and technology providers. Overall, Fundae demonstrates a stable and authoritative presence in the Spanish employment training sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. The use of third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government public service site but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more visible contact information and transparency about data protection practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitefinity CMS platform, utilizing jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. It employs Cookiebot for cookie consent management and Metricool for additional tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could be improved by adopting modern security headers and optimizing third-party script usage. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
