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

IslaWEB S.L. is a Spanish web hosting provider with over 20 years of experience offering professional internet presence solutions including web hosting, dedicated servers, and domain registration. The company targets businesses and professionals primarily in Spain, positioning itself as an early and established player in the Spanish hosting market. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides clear service plans and contact options. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional presentation and detailed legal disclosures. Technically, the site uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.12.4 and custom scripts, with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. Security posture is average; forms are secured with consent checkboxes, but no security headers or cookie consent mechanisms are detected. SSL status is unknown from the data provided, which is a critical gap. From a security perspective, the site lacks explicit incident response contacts and published security policies. The privacy policy is comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting good data protection awareness. No vulnerabilities or tracking technologies were detected, indicating minimal user tracking and advertising. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a small technology business but requires verification of domain registration and improvements in security headers and cookie consent to enhance trust and compliance.

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

      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

IslaWEB operates in the competitive Spanish web hosting market with a focus on SMEs and professionals. Its long-standing presence since 1998 suggests stable operations and market knowledge. The business model centers on subscription-based hosting plans with tiered offerings from basic to corporate levels. Revenue streams likely derive from hosting fees, domain registrations, and dedicated server rentals. The company maintains direct customer contact via phone, email, and a client panel, indicating a customer-centric approach. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified. The lack of social media presence and advertising suggests a focus on organic growth and direct client relationships. The detailed legal and privacy disclosures support regulatory compliance and build customer trust.

Security posture

The security maturity of IslaWEB is moderate. The website uses HTTPS (implied by webmail and panel subdomains with HTTPS URLs) but lacks visible security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. Forms include consent checkboxes for data processing, aligning with GDPR requirements. No incident response or security contact information is published, limiting transparency in case of security events. The absence of cookie policies and tracking scripts reduces privacy risks but also indicates limited user analytics. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries beyond jQuery 1.12.4 were detected, but updating to newer versions is advisable. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small hosting provider but could be improved with enhanced headers, explicit security policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and publish accurate WHOIS domain registration data to improve legitimacy and trust.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Add a cookie policy and explicit consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Update JavaScript libraries to current versions to reduce vulnerability risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard HTML5 and CSS, enhanced by legacy jQuery 1.12.4 and custom JavaScript files. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or lightweight platform. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, likely limited by older JS libraries and lack of advanced optimization. Accessibility is basic but functional. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses subdomains for webmail and client panel, suggesting segmented service infrastructure. No analytics or advertising scripts are present, indicating minimal third-party dependencies. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and security 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.
