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 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, Google APIs

      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

Sebrae operates primarily in the government, education, and non-profit sectors, focusing on enabling entrepreneurship and small business growth in Brazil. Its business model revolves around providing educational resources, consulting, and digital services free or at low cost to its target audience. The organization leverages partnerships with specialized platforms like DataSebrae and authentication services via amei.sebrae.com.br to enhance its offerings. The extensive content and service catalog, combined with a strong social media footprint, indicate a mature digital ecosystem aimed at broad outreach and impact. Sebrae's strategic focus on MEI and digital transformation initiatives like Up Digital and credit assistance programs highlight its commitment to evolving with market needs.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with key HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security, X-XSS-Protection, and X-Content-Type-Options properly configured. Session cookies are secured with HttpOnly and Secure flags. However, HSTS is not fully enabled with includeSubDomains or preload, and OCSP stapling is not implemented, which are areas for improvement. The SSL certificate is valid, covering multiple subdomains with support for TLS 1.2 and 1.3, and no known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or Logjam are present. The use of Keycloak for authentication suggests a robust identity management system. No explicit security policy, incident response, or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness communication.

Recommendations

  1. Enable full HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to strengthen HTTPS enforcement.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checks and reduce latency.
  3. Achieve Certificate Transparency compliance to enhance trust and detect certificate mis-issuance.
  4. Review and restrict Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to limit cross-origin risks.
  5. Update legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery to latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature technology stack including Apache web server, Google Cloud hosting, and uses Keycloak for authentication management. It integrates several JavaScript libraries and plugins such as Owl Carousel, QRCode.js, and VLibras for accessibility. The site employs OneTrust for cookie consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Performance is optimized with PageSpeed modules and CDN usage. The CMS appears to be a Vignette-based system or similar enterprise content management platform. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, but some legacy scripts (e.g., jQuery 1.9.1) indicate technical debt. Overall, the infrastructure is modern and scalable but could benefit from updates to certain components and enhanced security configurations.
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.
