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

3 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 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. 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 association holds a strong market position as the largest active Spanish network in information security, leveraging partnerships with global initiatives like CSA and DPI. Its business model focuses on non-profit collaboration, education, and certification services. The presence of global sponsors and active event promotion indicates a healthy partnership ecosystem and growth orientation. The website's content and structure support its mission effectively, targeting cybersecurity professionals and organizations in Spain. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, training, and certification programs. The lack of explicit company registration details online is typical for non-profits but could be improved for transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login forms with multi-factor authentication flows, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published, which could be a gap in transparency. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present and should be implemented to enhance protection. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is transparent and consent-based, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Consider publishing terms of service and more detailed company registration information to increase business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including jQuery, Foundation CSS framework, bxSlider, Owl Carousel, and FontAwesome icons. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are integrated for analytics and privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing scripts and images. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not available. The site includes multiple forms for login and contact, with client-side validation and multi-step authentication flows, indicating a focus on secure user access. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization and performance tuning.
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.
