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

Mundo Deportivo is a prominent Spanish sports news website focusing on football, motorsports, tennis, and other sports. It serves a Spanish-speaking audience with live results, news articles, and multimedia content. The site is part of Grupo Godó, a major media group in Spain, and maintains a strong market position in sports journalism. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, multiple ad networks, and a custom CMS called Xalok. It is optimized for both desktop and mobile platforms with good SEO and performance characteristics. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and consent management platforms to comply with GDPR, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data for the queried subdomain limits domain registration insights but does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, Mundo Deportivo presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly platform for sports news.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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 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

Mundo Deportivo operates in the media sector, specifically sports journalism, targeting sports enthusiasts primarily in Spain. Its business model relies on advertising revenue supplemented by subscription-based premium content. The site integrates with numerous advertising and tracking services to maximize monetization. It benefits from the backing of Grupo Godó, enhancing its market reach and resource availability. The partnership with La Vanguardia and shared technological resources indicate a consolidated media ecosystem. The site’s extensive content and live updates position it competitively in the Spanish sports news market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of a consent management platform (Didomi), and integration of reputable analytics and advertising services. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, some recommended security headers like HSTS and X-Content-Type-Options were not explicitly confirmed and should be verified. The site lacks publicly visible incident response or security policies, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with industry standards for media websites.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content Security Policy.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible to users and partners.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Improve public business contact information availability to strengthen trust and user support.

  6. No explicit contact emails or phone numbers found in the HTML content provided.
  7. No explicit security or incident response policies publicly linked.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and complex technology stack with multiple advertising platforms (Google Ad Manager, Smart AdServer, Rubicon, Criteo, Teads, etc.), analytics tools (Google Analytics, Comscore, Facebook Pixel), and consent management (Didomi). It employs a custom CMS named Xalok and integrates video streaming via jwplayer. The site is optimized for mobile and desktop with responsive design and preloading strategies. Performance is moderate, likely due to extensive third-party scripts and advertising integrations. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities. The infrastructure supports a large-scale media operation with dynamic content delivery and user engagement features.
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.
