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

Small Data is a non-profit educational project by SocialTIC focused on documenting and promoting the use of Small Data methodology for social impact among small organizations and community groups. The website provides case studies, methodology explanations, and resources primarily in Spanish, targeting non-profit and social impact sectors in Mexico and Latin America. The technical infrastructure is based on Adobe Muse with legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.8.3 and includes Google Analytics for visitor tracking. While the site is accessible and well-designed with good mobile optimization, it lacks modern security practices such as updated libraries, security headers, and privacy/cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to TLD restrictions, but the association with SocialTIC supports legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and protection.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for smalldata.technology right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The project operates as a niche educational resource within the Latin American non-profit sector, leveraging SocialTIC's reputation. It targets small organizations and collectives interested in data-driven social impact. The business model is informational and community-focused without commercial intent. The presence of social media channels and Creative Commons licensing indicates an open knowledge sharing approach. The lack of detailed business contact info and WHOIS transparency is typical for non-profits but limits some credibility signals. The project benefits from SocialTIC's established presence and partnerships.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and employs an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) known for vulnerabilities, which poses a moderate security risk. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The use of Google Analytics without clear privacy disclosures further impacts privacy posture. No incident response or security policy information is found. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to update libraries, implement security headers, and add privacy compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and all JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other privacy laws.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Review and improve accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Establish an incident response contact or security policy page to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Adobe Muse, relying on older jQuery 1.8.3 and Animate.css for animations. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and Typekit for fonts. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality but shows signs of technical debt due to outdated libraries and lack of modern security practices. Performance is moderate with no major errors detected. SEO and accessibility are basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical stack supports the site's educational mission but requires modernization to improve security and compliance.
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.
