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

LACTLD is a non-profit association representing the community of country code top-level domain (ccTLD) administrators in Latin America and the Caribbean. Founded in 1998 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, it serves as a regional leader providing collaborative services such as a Unified Domain Search Engine and a collaborative Anycast DNS network. The organization targets ccTLD administrators and the broader Internet ecosystem in the Latin American and Caribbean region. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with bilingual content and active social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern CMS infrastructure with good SEO practices. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. Hosting is inferred to be via GoDaddy based on WHOIS data. No blocking or WAF challenges were detected, allowing full content access. From a security perspective, HTTPS is enabled with domain status protections in place, but DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected. There is no visible privacy, cookie, or security policy, which impacts compliance posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The domain is privacy protected but has a long registration history consistent with the organization's founding date, supporting legitimacy. Overall, LACTLD's website is credible and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and transparency regarding data protection and incident response to improve trust and security posture.

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

5 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 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

    • 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

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

LACTLD occupies a niche regional market as the association for ccTLD administrators in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its non-profit business model focuses on collaboration and service provision rather than commercial revenue. Key services include a centralized domain search engine and a collaborative Anycast DNS infrastructure, which strengthen regional Internet infrastructure. The organization maintains active communication channels via social media and publishes reports and newsletters, indicating engagement with its community. The website content and structure support clear navigation and bilingual access, targeting regional stakeholders. The domain's long age and privacy protection are consistent with a mature organization valuing operational security. No direct commercial partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections (clientDeleteProhibited, etc.). However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces domain-level security against DNS spoofing. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which are recommended best practices. The lack of privacy and cookie policies and absence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure pages indicate gaps in compliance and transparency. No forms or input fields on the homepage reduce attack surface but also limit user interaction. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, minimizing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  4. Add an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy page with dedicated contact channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. It uses jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements and Font Awesome for icons. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. Hosting is likely provided by GoDaddy as per WHOIS registrar data. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are basic but present. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, which may limit marketing insights but improves privacy. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but has room for security and privacy 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.
