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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

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

Laboratoria occupies a leading position in the Latin American non-profit education sector, specializing in closing gender gaps in technology employment. Its business model combines free foundational programs with paid memberships offering mentorship and advanced skills development. Revenue streams likely include donations, corporate partnerships, and membership fees. The organization targets resilient women seeking career advancement, leveraging community and coaching. Partnerships with platforms like every.org for donations and related initiative sites indicate a growing ecosystem. The website's content and testimonials reinforce credibility and impact, supporting growth and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent aligned with GDPR, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS represents areas for enhancement. No published security policy or incident response contacts limit transparency. The use of Google Consent Mode and granular cookie controls reflects good privacy practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved to meet higher standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies including Google Tag Manager and jQuery 3.5.1. It uses Google Fonts and embeds YouTube videos for rich media content. Hosting is managed via Webflow with DNS on DigitalOcean, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, integrating Google Consent Mode for privacy compliance. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated technologies, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and DNS configuration.
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.
