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

Securitas Costa Rica is a regional branch of the global Securitas AB group, specializing in integrated security services including traditional security, electronic security, remote monitoring, and corporate risk management. The company leverages over 90 years of global experience and operates in 44 countries, positioning itself as a leader in the security industry in Costa Rica. The website is professionally designed, localized in Spanish, and provides comprehensive information about their services and sectors served. Technically, the site uses modern technologies such as EPiServer CMS, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Application Insights, and OneTrust for cookie consent, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and privacy compliance mechanisms, though the absence of a public security policy and incident response contact is noted. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy, but the professional branding and global association mitigate some risk. Overall, the site is trustworthy, compliant, and well-positioned in its market segment.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company operates in the security services sector targeting businesses, residential complexes, corporate offices, and specialized sectors in Costa Rica. Its business model focuses on providing integrated security solutions combining physical security personnel with advanced technology and remote monitoring. The global parent company Securitas AB provides strong brand recognition and operational support. The website links to multiple country-specific Securitas domains, indicating a broad partnership and subsidiary network. The presence of certifications like Bandera Azul Ecológica reflects corporate social responsibility initiatives. The company’s market position is strong as a leader in security services with a comprehensive portfolio. Growth indicators include digital transformation efforts and expansion of remote security services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of cookie consent management aligns with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact incident handling readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which is a best practice for mature security programs. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security policies and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies in privacy documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on EPiServer CMS, a robust enterprise content management system. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Application Insights for analytics and monitoring, indicating a focus on performance and user behavior insights. The site includes a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust, supporting privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, canonical links, and Open Graph tags. The technical stack is modern and supports scalability, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site could benefit from further optimization for speed and enhanced security transparency.
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.
