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

Licitacionescolombia.co is a specialized platform providing centralized access to public tender information across Colombia and Latin America, targeting businesses seeking government procurement opportunities. The platform offers alert services, customized reports, and advanced search tools to help clients identify and win tenders. It operates under the Tender Service Group umbrella, indicating a broader organizational structure. Technically, the website is built on a modern Angular framework with PrimeNG components, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site incorporates standard tracking and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Userpilot, with a cookie consent mechanism in place. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes common security headers, but lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response information. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche, though it could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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 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

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn

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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 business is positioned as a unique centralized service for public tenders in Colombia and Latin America, serving a niche market of companies interested in government contracts. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive data coverage, alerting services, and personalized reporting. The subscription-based model targets medium-sized businesses and professionals. The presence of multiple regional and international partner domains suggests a broad partnership ecosystem. Customer testimonials enhance credibility. The company focuses on data-driven decision support, aiming to maximize client revenue from public contracts. Growth potential exists through expanding geographic coverage and service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent but limited GDPR-specific disclosures. The site should enhance its security documentation and incident response readiness to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance GDPR compliance by detailing data processing and user rights in the privacy policy.
  4. Add clear company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Angular 20.3.2 with PrimeNG UI components, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end architecture. It leverages Google Tag Manager and Userpilot for analytics and user engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloaded fonts for performance. SEO is supported by meta tags and alternate hreflang links for multiple languages. No CMS is explicitly identified, but Storyblok references suggest a headless CMS backend. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were observed in the provided HTML content.
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.
