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

11 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

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

  3. 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';…

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 business operates in the media and hospitality sectors, targeting food enthusiasts and lifestyle readers primarily in Spain. Its revenue streams include advertising and subscription sales. The company leverages partnerships with notable media brands like Forbes and maintains a strong social media presence across multiple platforms. The brand is consistent and recognized, supported by awards and strategic partnerships. The website content is rich, relevant, and professionally presented, indicating a medium-sized enterprise with a clear growth trajectory and market influence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses consent management tools to comply with GDPR. Security headers are partially implemented, and no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The site follows best practices for secure script loading and lazy loading to enhance security and performance. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced documentation and explicit policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and verify security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and performance plugins like WP Rocket. It uses asynchronous script loading and lazy loading for images and iframes to optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and screen reader text. Advertising is integrated via Google Publisher Tags and InMobi Consent Manager, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The technical implementation is robust, with good SEO and accessibility practices, resulting in fast loading times and a positive user experience.
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.
