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

The Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos (OEI) is a large, well-established international non-profit organization focused on education, culture, science, and multilateral relations within Ibero-American countries. The website serves as a comprehensive portal offering information on their programs, projects, training, and cultural initiatives, targeting governments, educational institutions, and citizens in the region. The organization maintains a strong digital presence with multilingual support and accessibility features. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and accessibility best practices, including the use of Yoast SEO, WPML for multilingual content, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting is provided by Interhost, and the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts are absent, representing areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, with no signs of blocking or WAF interference. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

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

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

OEI operates as a key regional intergovernmental organization in the education and cultural sectors across Ibero-America. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on program delivery, training, and cultural promotion. The organization benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem and maintains offices in multiple countries, indicating a large operational footprint. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital strategy aimed at transparency, accessibility, and engagement with diverse stakeholders. The presence of social media channels and a virtual learning platform supports community building and outreach. Growth indicators include active program and project listings, training offerings, and multilingual content. The organization positions itself as a trusted leader in its sector, leveraging digital tools to enhance service delivery and stakeholder communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent aligned with GDPR. Accessibility features also contribute to inclusive security practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options limits protection against certain web-based attacks. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and incident management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of modern plugins and libraries appears up to date, reducing risk from known vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance with transparent cookie consent and privacy policies.
  5. Enhance monitoring and regular security audits to maintain up-to-date plugin and library versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with Yoast SEO and WPML for multilingual support, indicating a mature and flexible content management approach. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and analytics, with reCAPTCHA protecting forms from spam. Hosting is provided by Interhost, as indicated by the nameservers. The site uses modern web fonts and CSS animations, with responsive design principles applied for mobile optimization. Accessibility features include an accessibility menu with font size adjustments and contrast modes. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in loading speed. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and structured JSON-LD data. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of some security headers and formal security documentation are noted as areas for improvement.
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.
