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

Hidrolab is a Spanish-language laboratory service provider specializing in sampling and analysis of water, soil, sediments, mining, food, air, and cannabis. The company appears to be a small-sized business founded around 2018, targeting clients needing reliable environmental and food testing services. The website is built on WordPress with a professional design and good SEO practices, leveraging plugins such as Yoast SEO and Bold Page Builder, and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and provides relevant content in Spanish, though no explicit contact or privacy policies were found in the provided HTML content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy compliance indicators. The WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain is unregistered or privacy-protected, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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

Hidrolab operates in a niche market providing laboratory analysis and sampling services primarily in Spanish-speaking regions. Its business model focuses on service delivery in environmental and food sectors, including emerging markets like cannabis testing. The company leverages digital marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager but lacks visible trust signals like certifications or social media presence. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable risk factor. Growth potential exists if the company enhances its digital trust and compliance posture. The website content and structure suggest a focused, small business with moderate digital maturity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies was found. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but no explicit user consent mechanisms were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Consider registering the domain with transparent WHOIS information or justify privacy protection to improve legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Bold Page Builder for content layout. It uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and is mobile-optimized with responsive design. Performance is moderate, with deferred and lazy-loaded scripts improving load times. However, no advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Modernization opportunities include enhancing security configurations and adding compliance features.
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.
