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

Stratos is a well-established online community platform founded in 1998, serving video game and multimedia developers primarily in Spain. The website offers industry news, job listings, collaboration opportunities, forums, and educational resources, positioning itself as a niche hub for professionals and enthusiasts in the multimedia development sector. The platform maintains active engagement through frequent job and collaboration postings and integrates social media channels for broader community interaction. Technically, the site employs modern web standards including responsive design, Google Fonts, FontAwesome icons, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, hosted by DonDominio. The website is mobile-optimized and provides a consistent user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks some advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is addressed with dedicated pages for privacy policy, cookie policy with consent mechanisms, and terms of service, though incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are absent. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security posture with room for improvement in security headers and incident response transparency. The domain's long registration history and consistent WHOIS data reinforce the site's 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

3 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 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

  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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Stratos operates as a specialized community platform targeting video game and multimedia developers, offering a combination of news, job boards, collaboration requests, forums, and learning materials. Its business model revolves around community engagement and advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with companies like IslaWeb, Synchrnzr, and Jooble. The platform's longevity since 1998 and active content updates indicate stable market positioning within the Spanish-speaking multimedia development niche. The absence of physical addresses or phone numbers suggests a primarily digital presence. The partnership ecosystem enhances service offerings, particularly in job listings and technical support. Growth indicators include frequent job postings and event announcements. The platform's focus on professional developers and students positions it well for sustained community relevance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for enhancement. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve domain-level security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency for security issues. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but is standard practice. Overall, the site is secure for typical community platform use but should adopt additional security best practices and formalize incident response procedures to strengthen resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with GDPR.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain high standards of user experience and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, leveraging Google Fonts and FontAwesome for UI consistency. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is hosted by DonDominio, a known hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and theme switching based on user color scheme preferences. No CMS or major frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but functional. Technical risks include lack of advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which could be addressed to improve overall security posture.
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.
