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

Juntaex.es is the official digital portal for the Junta de Extremadura, a regional government entity in Spain. The website provides citizens with streamlined access to public information, administrative procedures, transparency data, and current news relevant to the Extremadura region. It serves as a comprehensive gateway for residents and interested parties to engage with government services and information efficiently. The site is well-structured with thematic navigation and highlights key public services and data. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Liferay CMS, Bootstrap, Swiper.js, and Matomo analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and employs standard web performance practices. Security is implemented with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and policies could be enhanced. From a security posture perspective, the site shows good practices such as encrypted connections and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for transparency and trust. Privacy compliance is supported by cookie policies and GDPR-aligned consent, but contact information for privacy or security concerns is not evident. Overall, Juntaex.es is a credible and professional government website with a solid technical foundation and good user experience. Strategic improvements in security transparency and contact availability would further strengthen 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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"

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 Junta de Extremadura operates as a government entity providing public services and information to the regional population. Its market position is that of an essential public service provider with no commercial competition. The business model is non-commercial, focused on governance, transparency, and citizen engagement. The website supports multiple sectors relevant to regional administration including social services, education, health, environment, and economic development. The portal's comprehensive content and structured navigation indicate a mature digital presence aimed at maximizing accessibility and service delivery. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident, consistent with a government structure. Growth indicators are aligned with digital transformation initiatives, such as the use of modern CMS and analytics tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The use of third-party libraries appears current but should be regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could be improved by adopting best practices in security policy publication and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Increase visibility of contact information for privacy and security concerns to improve user trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Liferay CMS platform, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design, Swiper.js for interactive carousels, and Matomo for analytics tracking. The use of Google Fonts and CDN-hosted libraries indicates a modern front-end approach. The site employs SPA techniques via Senna.js for improved user experience. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred execution. Accessibility features such as ARIA roles and skip links are present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain uses HTTPS with a valid certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and suitable for a large government portal.
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.
