Risk levelMedium

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

Hiansa is a Spanish manufacturing company specializing in the production and distribution of steel sandwich panels and profiled sheets, serving industrial, commercial, and architectural sectors. With over 40 years of experience, it holds a strong market position supported by technical expertise and a broad product catalog. The company is part of GRUPO HIEMESA and a member of the Asociación de Fabricantes Españoles de Paneles Sándwich, reinforcing its industry credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Smartlook. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive cookie policy and consent mechanism. Security posture is good with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and incident response information are lacking. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the overall business presence and content quality indicate a legitimate and professional operation.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your 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

Hiansa operates as a medium-sized manufacturer and distributor of sandwich panels and steel sheets, targeting construction and industrial clients primarily in Spain and Latin America. Its competitive advantages include a wide product range, technical support services, and strong industry affiliations. The business model combines manufacturing with international distribution and technical consultancy. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics to engage customers and optimize operations. Growth indicators include international offices and a BIM library offering. Partnerships with industry associations and a parent group enhance its market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and use of reputable analytics and tracking tools. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files, which are best practices for transparency and vulnerability management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site could improve by implementing HTTP security headers and publishing formal security documentation to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Enhance WHOIS domain registration transparency or clarify domain privacy to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, and asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses CookieYes for GDPR-compliant cookie management. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the content. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is missing, representing a modernization opportunity.
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.
