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

Meteored.cr is a weather forecasting website focused on providing detailed 14-day weather forecasts, hourly updates, meteorological maps, alerts, and videos primarily for Costa Rica but also covering global locations. The site is part of the Meteored network, a recognized provider of meteorological information. The business model is advertising-supported, leveraging multiple ad networks and tracking technologies while maintaining user consent mechanisms. The website targets a general audience interested in weather information and related news. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks, Leaflet.js for interactive maps, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Prebid.js for analytics and advertising. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices. Hosting appears to be managed via Meteored's own services or CDN providers. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, no visible sensitive data exposure, and use of a consent management platform. However, explicit security headers are not visible in the HTML and no published security policy or incident response contacts were found. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, but the site shows no suspicious indicators and maintains trust through professional content and policies. Overall, Meteored.cr presents a professional, trustworthy weather information service with good technical and security practices. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security header implementation, publishing security policies, and improving accessibility compliance.

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"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

Meteored.cr operates in the media and technology sectors, providing weather forecasting services with a strong regional focus on Costa Rica. The company leverages a network of localized sites under the Meteored brand, enabling broad market reach. Revenue streams primarily come from advertising and partnerships. The site integrates social media channels to engage users and extend brand presence. The business model emphasizes user engagement through detailed weather data, interactive maps, and multimedia content. Growth potential lies in expanding digital services such as widgets and apps, which are actively promoted. The partnership ecosystem includes ad networks and technology providers. Competitive advantages include localized content, multi-language support, and a comprehensive weather data offering.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a consent management platform in place, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts is extensive but managed with user consent. However, the absence of visible security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Overall, the site balances user privacy and security well but should enhance transparency and technical controls to strengthen its security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all audiences.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with Leaflet.js for interactive mapping and integrates multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Google Ads GPT, Prebid.js for header bidding, and Dailymotion for video content. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images to optimize user experience. The site is mobile responsive and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting appears to be managed by Meteored or associated services. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and further optimize performance.
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.
