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

Guía de la Industria Química is a specialized online platform focused on providing comprehensive information, business directories, and advertising opportunities for the chemical industry and related sectors in Mexico. Established in 2011, it serves industry professionals and companies by offering detailed articles, supplier listings, and sector-specific insights. The website positions itself as an important resource within the Mexican chemical manufacturing sector, supporting business decision-making and networking. Technically, the website employs modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap, FontAwesome, Google Fonts, and interactive libraries such as Swiper and AOS for animations. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Mouseflow for user behavior tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Hosting details are limited but the domain registrar is consistent with the business location. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA on forms to mitigate spam. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to strengthen trust. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy for its target audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and providing clear incident response contacts to improve compliance and 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

9 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

The platform operates as a B2B information and advertising service within the Mexican chemical manufacturing sector. It leverages content marketing through articles and industry data to attract professionals and companies. Revenue likely derives from advertising contracts and featured listings. The site maintains a consistent brand and market position as a key industry resource. Its partnership ecosystem includes technology providers for analytics and form handling but no explicit business partners or subsidiaries are identified. Growth indicators include regular content updates and a stable domain registration since 2011. The target customer segments are chemical industry companies, suppliers, and sector stakeholders in Mexico.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and anti-spam measures via Google reCAPTCHA. However, the absence of security headers and published privacy policies indicates gaps in security best practices and regulatory compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests limited readiness for security incidents. Data protection practices appear minimal, with moderate user tracking through analytics tools but no clear data retention policies. Enhancing security headers, privacy documentation, and incident response transparency would improve the security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to meet GDPR and privacy regulations.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and well-supported technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, FontAwesome for icons, and Google Fonts for typography. Interactive elements are powered by Swiper and AOS libraries, enhancing user engagement. Analytics and user behavior tracking are implemented via Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Mouseflow. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized. However, no CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registration is stable. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential privacy compliance issues due to absent policies.
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.
