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

7 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 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

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

Modelo operates in the technology sector with a focus on 3D visualization and collaboration tools. Its business model is SaaS-based with free and paid tiers, targeting professionals in architecture, design, real estate, gaming, and education. The company leverages partnerships such as with Coohom to expand its ecosystem. Testimonials and social media presence indicate strong customer engagement and market acceptance. The platform's support for numerous 3D formats and integration with BIM and VR technologies position it competitively. Growth indicators include a mature domain age and comprehensive product offerings. Strategic observations suggest opportunities in expanding enterprise features and enhancing security compliance to capture larger market segments.

Security posture

Modelo exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. The website does not expose sensitive data and uses service workers for enhanced functionality. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy represent areas for improvement. No evidence of vulnerabilities or malicious content was found. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be elevated with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy HTTP headers to mitigate XSS and privacy risks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to enhance security transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks and custom monitoring tools, hosted on AWS infrastructure with GoDaddy as the registrar. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible with good SEO practices. The use of service workers indicates progressive web app capabilities. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and some security headers. The site demonstrates low technical debt and good modernization but should continue to monitor dependencies and security configurations to maintain operational integrity.
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.
