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

IX.br is a key Brazilian Internet Exchange Point operator managed by NIC.br, providing critical infrastructure that enables direct interconnection between Autonomous Systems to optimize Internet traffic flow within Brazil. The website reflects a mature organization with a clear focus on technology and telecommunications sectors, offering services such as traffic aggregation, educational events, and security best practices. The site is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets network operators and Internet service providers in Brazil. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and SweetAlert2, and employs Matomo for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and implementing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the organization's identity, supporting high legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. 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 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, 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

IX.br operates as a non-profit infrastructure provider under NIC.br, holding a leading position in Brazil's Internet ecosystem. Its business model focuses on enabling efficient Internet traffic exchange, reducing costs, and improving network resilience for its target audience of ISPs and network operators. The organization benefits from strong partnerships with entities like CGI.br, Registro.br, and CERT.br, reinforcing its strategic role in national Internet governance and infrastructure. The website content and linked domains reflect a robust partnership ecosystem and a commitment to education and security. Growth indicators include recent traffic records and active event promotion. The absence of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on institutional rather than direct consumer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. Use of modern libraries and absence of vulnerable scripts indicate good maintenance practices. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published incident response or security policies limit transparency and preparedness perception. No contact channels for security incidents are provided, which could hinder timely reporting and response. Compliance with GDPR or similar regulations is partial, as cookie consent mechanisms are missing despite analytics usage. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving user-facing security communications.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website with clear contact channels.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS or framework using Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and SweetAlert2 for enhanced UI alerts. FontAwesome provides iconography. Analytics are handled via Matomo, a privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. The site loads asynchronously and defers scripts for performance optimization. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards are properly configured. No CMS like WordPress or Joomla detected, indicating a tailored solution. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and cookie management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence aligned with the organization's mission.
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.
