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

Igalia, S.L. is a Spain-based open source consultancy specializing in innovative software projects and solutions, particularly in browsers, embedded Linux, multimedia, and compilers. The company holds a strong market position with recognized expertise in WebKit, Chromium/Blink, Firefox, and related technologies, serving a global clientele. Their business model centers on consultancy and software development services with a focus on open source technologies. The website reflects a mature digital presence with excellent content quality, mobile optimization, and clear navigation. Technically, the website leverages AMP for performance and mobile responsiveness, uses modern web standards, and integrates privacy-conscious analytics (Piwik) with cookies disabled. The site is fast, accessible, and SEO-optimized. However, some security best practices like explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but is mitigated by the professional site and active community engagement. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is a gap. Privacy compliance is good, with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, though cookie consent is lacking. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, with minor areas for improvement in security transparency and compliance. Strategically, Igalia should enhance its security posture by publishing incident response information, implementing cookie consent, and adding security headers. These steps will improve compliance and user trust. The company’s strong technical foundation and community engagement position it well for continued growth and leadership in open source consultancy.

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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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

Igalia operates in the technology sector as an essential entity providing specialized open source consultancy and development services. Their competitive advantage lies in deep expertise across multiple web engines and embedded systems, with upstream contributions to major projects like WebKit, Chromium, and Firefox. The company targets organizations requiring advanced open source solutions, including industries such as digital TV, automotive, and embedded systems. Revenue streams likely derive from consultancy contracts, software development, and support services. The active community, frequent conference participation, and social media presence indicate strong ecosystem partnerships and brand recognition. The company’s operations appear stable and growth-oriented, with a focus on innovation and open source leadership.

Security posture

Igalia’s security maturity is moderate to high. The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability management. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which is a compliance risk in the EU. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by enhancing transparency, compliance, and user trust mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with EU cookie laws and GDPR.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update privacy and security practices to maintain compliance and enhance trust.

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including AMP for fast, mobile-optimized content delivery. The tech stack includes HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with no detected CMS, indicating a custom or static site approach. Performance is fast with good SEO and accessibility features implemented. Analytics are handled via Piwik (Matomo) with cookies disabled, reflecting privacy-conscious design. No hosting provider or CMS was identified from the content.

Technical risks are minimal but could include lack of security headers and cookie consent impacting compliance and security posture.
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.
