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

SoftBank Latin America Fund is a large investment fund established in 2019 by the SoftBank Group to partner with and support technology companies and entrepreneurs in Latin America. The fund focuses on providing capital and hands-on support including talent acquisition, product development, marketing, and governance to foster growth in the region. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear business descriptions and physical office addresses in Miami, Mexico City, and São Paulo. Technically, the site is built on modern React and Gatsby frameworks, leveraging Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and cookie consent management. However, the security posture is weak due to an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols, which undermines trust and exposes visitors to risks. Security headers are partially implemented but critical improvements are needed to meet best practices. Overall, the site demonstrates good digital maturity but requires urgent remediation of SSL and security configurations to ensure safe user interactions and compliance with privacy regulations.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 SoftBank Latin America Fund operates as a strategic investment partner targeting Latin American technology startups and entrepreneurs. Its competitive advantage lies in deep local market insight combined with global SoftBank resources. The business model centers on venture capital investments with value-added services such as governance and talent support. The fund targets a large market with significant growth potential, positioning itself as a key player in the Latin American tech ecosystem. The website content emphasizes partnership, innovation, and long-term company building. The presence of multiple office locations indicates a regional footprint. The fund's parent company is SoftBank Group, a global investment powerhouse. The website's content and structure support lead generation and investor relations but do not include direct contact forms or emails, suggesting controlled communication channels.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is suboptimal. Despite the presence of some security headers like HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-XSS-Protection, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of enabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities. This exposes users to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and data interception. The DNS configuration lacks DNSSEC and CAA records, reducing domain security. No DMARC record is found, which could affect email security. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance, but no explicit security or incident response policies are published on the site. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the site requires immediate SSL remediation and enhanced DNS security to improve its security posture and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable secure HTTPS connections.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols to strengthen encryption.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to protect DNS integrity and restrict certificate issuance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency.
  5. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  6. Regularly audit and enhance security headers, including Content Security Policy (CSP).
  7. Ensure cookie consent fully complies with GDPR and ePrivacy directives and clearly documents data retention.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Gatsby, a React-based static site generator, indicating a modern frontend architecture optimized for performance and SEO. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, while Cookiebot manages cookie consent. The site uses DomainControl (GoDaddy) for DNS hosting. However, performance metrics are missing or zero, suggesting incomplete data or slow loading. Mobile optimization appears good based on responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic with no explicit ARIA or accessibility features detected. SEO is supported by canonical tags, hreflang attributes, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and JSON-LD structured data. The invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocols represent significant technical risks that could impact user trust and search rankings. The site does not appear to use a traditional CMS, relying instead on static site generation.
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.
