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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

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

    • 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

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 company positions itself as a key player in the public procurement information sector in Spain and Europe, leveraging subscription and consultancy services. Its competitive advantage lies in personalized tender alerts, detailed market analysis, and expert advisory services. The business model focuses on recurring revenue through subscriptions and value-added consultancy. The target customers are businesses interested in public contracts, spanning multiple sectors such as construction, IT, pharmaceuticals, and public services. The presence of multiple related international domains indicates a broad partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include a well-structured website with multilingual support and advanced digital marketing tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers present, reducing common web vulnerabilities. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicate GDPR awareness. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure channels suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security documentation and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity.
  5. Increase visibility of company contact information to improve trust and support.

Notes

The website uses a modern Angular framework (version 20.3.2) with PrimeNG UI components and Storyblok CMS for content management. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn Insight, and Userpilot. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloaded fonts for performance. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and accessibility. The technical stack supports a professional and scalable platform suitable for a medium-sized business focused on public procurement services.
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.
