Risk levelMedium

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

Kichwa.net is a small educational website dedicated to providing free, self-directed learning materials focused on the Kichwa language and culture. It offers online courses, dictionaries, grammar guides, and cultural articles primarily targeting Spanish-speaking learners interested in indigenous Andean languages. The website is built on WordPress with common SEO and contact plugins, showing moderate technical maturity and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for compliance improvement. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency, although the website content and social media presence suggest a legitimate educational initiative. Overall, the site is functional, trustworthy for educational purposes, but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

  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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 website occupies a niche educational market focused on indigenous language preservation and learning. Its business model is based on free content distribution, likely supported by community or nonprofit funding rather than commercial revenue. The target audience includes Spanish-speaking individuals interested in Kichwa language and culture, including learners and cultural advocates. The site maintains active social media channels to engage its community. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or monetization programs. The lack of WHOIS transparency and absence of detailed business registration information limits deeper business intelligence. However, the consistent branding and quality content indicate a focused and credible educational resource.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses reputable WordPress plugins for contact forms and SEO. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, and no security.txt file is present. The site does not display cookie consent mechanisms or privacy policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. No suspicious scripts or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy compliance measures, and formal vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to the latest versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing popular plugins like Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, Contact Form 7 for user contact forms, and AddToAny for social sharing. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and Font Awesome for UI elements, with Google Fonts (Raleway) for typography. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with no heavy external scripts detected beyond social sharing. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML. The site lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features, indicating technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small educational WordPress site 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.
