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.

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 site is positioned as an essential government service in Brazil, targeting accessibility for deaf users through the VLibras suite. It benefits from strong partnerships with federal ministries and academia, enhancing credibility and resource backing. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and digital inclusion. The target audience includes deaf individuals, government agencies, and the general public interested in accessibility. The site’s market position is authoritative within the Brazilian government digital ecosystem. The partnership ecosystem includes the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship, and the Federal University of Paraíba. Growth indicators include ongoing updates and integration with broader government digital strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, multiple security headers implemented, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. The use of Google Tag Manager is noted, but no excessive tracking or privacy concerns were identified. However, the absence of explicit incident response contact information and a security.txt file suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management readiness. Compliance with privacy frameworks is evident through published privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is secure and trustworthy, with minor recommendations to enhance transparency and incident response capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security incident response contact information on the site.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance visibility and clarity of privacy and cookie consent mechanisms.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including phone numbers and emails for support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Plone CMS platform, leveraging jQuery, Font Awesome, Swiper.js, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and UI components. It uses modern CSS and JavaScript frameworks and is hosted on government infrastructure with Brazilian government name servers. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, but mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well implemented. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata. The site uses multiple CSS and JS resources loaded from gov.br domains and trusted CDNs. Technical risks are minimal, with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve performance and incident response readiness.
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.
