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

SOSpeix is a non-profit environmental campaign focused on promoting responsible consumption of fish and seafood in the Girona and Empordà regions of Spain. The campaign is organized by the Associació de Naturalistes de Girona (ANG) and IAEDEN – Salvem Empordà, collaborating with local fishermen, scientists, restaurants, schools, and supermarkets to raise awareness about overfishing and marine protection. The website serves as an educational platform providing guides, news, recipes, and recommendations to encourage sustainable seafood consumption. Technically, the website uses a modest technology stack including jQuery 1.9.1, Google Tag Manager, Google Translate widget, and Google Fonts. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive design and good SEO practices. However, some technologies are outdated, and security headers are not detected, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies are implemented, showing compliance with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent, but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a malformed query response, which reduces domain trustworthiness. Nevertheless, the website content, contact information, and partnerships indicate a legitimate and trustworthy non-profit organization. Overall, the site presents a good balance of content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance, with moderate security posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, updated libraries, and enhanced transparency on security policies would strengthen the site’s security and trust profile.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

SOSpeix operates as a regional non-profit environmental campaign targeting consumers interested in sustainable seafood. Its competitive advantage lies in strong local partnerships with governmental agencies and environmental organizations, providing credibility and outreach. The business model is awareness and education-driven, relying on collaborations rather than commercial revenue streams. The target audience includes environmentally conscious consumers, educational institutions, and local businesses in the Girona region. Growth indicators include active social media presence and ongoing campaigns. The partnership ecosystem includes ANG, IAEDEN, Generalitat de Catalunya, and other environmental foundations, reinforcing its regional influence and operational capacity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which limits preparedness for security incidents. Data protection practices appear aligned with GDPR through cookie policies and privacy notices, but could be enhanced with a dedicated security policy and contact channels for reporting issues.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to reduce risk of exploitation.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website, including contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing a dedicated data protection officer contact or privacy team information.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS and domain registration data to ensure consistency and improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on standard web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery 1.9.1. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking, and Google Translate widget supports multilingual access. The site uses Google Fonts for typography. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, supporting various screen sizes. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could benefit from optimization. No CMS or hosting provider information is detected. The technical stack is functional but shows signs of aging, particularly with the outdated jQuery version, which poses a security risk. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or platforms, indicating a relatively simple and maintainable technical environment.
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.
