Risk levelLow

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

Metalmecánica is a Spanish-language online platform serving the metalworking community in Latin America, connecting suppliers and professionals with industry-specific content, product catalogs, and services. The website demonstrates a professional design and uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. The platform offers a variety of services including supplier directories, job listings, and industry news, positioning itself as a regional hub for the metalworking sector. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Additionally, the lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies and contact information indicates gaps in privacy compliance and business transparency. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but missing explicit security headers and incident response details. Overall, the site is functional and well-designed but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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

4 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 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 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 platform targets B2B users in the manufacturing sector, specifically metalworking in Latin America. It leverages content and community features to engage suppliers and professionals, likely generating revenue through advertising and premium content. The use of multiple marketing and tracking tools suggests an active digital marketing strategy. The lack of WHOIS data and contact details may impact user trust and business credibility. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The site’s content and services indicate a medium-sized operation focused on regional market leadership in its niche.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and integrates standard analytics and marketing scripts, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data and contact information reduces trust and may indicate a need for improved domain management and transparency. Compliance with GDPR or similar regulations is not evident. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved by implementing security best practices and clear privacy and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and support.
  3. Obtain and maintain transparent WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Enhance security posture by adding recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap framework with jQuery and integrates Google Fonts and FontAwesome for styling. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, along with Microsoft Clarity for user behavior analysis. The site loads multiple external scripts and stylesheets from reputable CDNs. Performance is moderate with some preloading and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data.
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.
