Risk levelMedium

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 and with a domain registered since 1999, it serves as a regional hub providing collaborative services such as a unified domain search tool and an Anycast DNS network to strengthen DNS infrastructure in the region. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The organization maintains an active social media presence and provides contact information including a physical address and phone number. However, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are important for compliance and user trust.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, 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

LACTLD occupies a key position as a regional non-profit coordinating ccTLD operators in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its business model focuses on community collaboration and infrastructure services rather than commercial revenue. The organization targets technical and governance stakeholders in the Internet ecosystem. The presence of services like the unified domain search and Anycast network indicates a focus on technical service delivery. The long domain age and consistent branding support credibility. The lack of detailed privacy and security policies suggests areas for maturity improvement. Partnerships appear limited to regional ccTLDs and Internet governance bodies.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and domain registration includes standard protections against unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a notable security gap for a DNS-focused organization. No security headers were detected, and there is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing security policies and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and trust.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear contact emails for security and general inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It uses common web technologies including jQuery and Font Awesome icons. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain registrar is GoDaddy. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking. The site could benefit from improved security configurations and enhanced privacy compliance features.
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.
