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

Manual Moderno is a well-established Mexican publishing company specializing in educational and professional books, particularly in health sciences, psychology, and nutrition. The company operates a Magento-based eCommerce platform offering physical books, e-books, exclusive distributions, and evaluation instruments. Their market position is strong within Mexico and Latin America, targeting educational institutions, professionals, and the general public interested in health-related literature. The website demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality, supported by a long-standing domain registration since 2001. Technically, the website leverages Magento with modern JavaScript libraries such as RequireJS and jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices. However, some security enhancements are recommended, including enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and implementing a cookie consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, but lacks published security policies or incident response contacts. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the content is safe for general audiences. Overall, the website presents a moderate to good security posture but could improve privacy compliance and technical security hardening. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the business profile, showing legitimacy and consistency. The company maintains active social media channels and provides clear contact information, enhancing trustworthiness.

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.

Priority findings

5 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.

    • 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: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

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

  2. 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

Manual Moderno holds a solid position in the educational publishing sector in Mexico, focusing on health sciences and psychology. Their business model includes direct sales of physical and digital books, exclusive distribution partnerships, and specialized editorial projects. The company targets educational institutions, health professionals, and students, leveraging digital channels and eCommerce to expand reach. Partnerships with digital solution providers like Hipertexto indicate a strategic approach to digital transformation. The presence of exclusive distributors and specialized product lines suggests a competitive advantage in niche markets. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and regular content updates. The company’s operations appear stable with a medium-sized organizational footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which may hinder transparency and readiness. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR and similar regulations. Third-party scripts for analytics and marketing are present but not explicitly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but should be enhanced to mitigate emerging threats and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy laws and improve user trust.
  3. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to harden against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento, a robust eCommerce platform, utilizing RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It integrates Owl Carousel for UI sliders and Google Tag Manager alongside Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility features. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security hardening. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified beyond the registrar, suggesting a need for clearer infrastructure documentation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business needs but requires modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
