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

5 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 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

The company operates in the business information sector, offering products such as reports, business risk solutions, marketing and sales tools, ESG compliance, and registry services. Their competitive advantage lies in the volume and freshness of data, a broad physical presence in Spain, and a high customer satisfaction rating. The business model revolves around data sales and subscription services to enterprises. Partnerships include customer portals and employment sites under the informa.es domain. Growth is indicated by AI integration and continuous product expansion. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining data accuracy and expanding international reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS and a consent management platform (Didomi) ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like CSP or HSTS and lack of public incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies represent gaps. These could impact incident readiness and trust in case of security events. The company should consider publishing a security policy and security.txt file to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Continue investment in AI and data integration to maintain competitive advantage.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Didomi for consent management, and UI libraries like Slick Carousel and AOS for animations. The presence of asynchronous loading scripts and CDN usage suggests performance optimization efforts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by adding security headers and accessibility 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.
