Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
This website presents itself as España & Asociados, a professional accounting and business consultancy serving small and medium-sized enterprises and professionals through accounting outsourcing, tax and payroll support, financial management, government and legal administration, auditing, and a client-portal model.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site’s stated business purpose and homepage content appear professionally structured, with no detected crypto, wallet, gambling, deceptive-login, or obvious phishing mechanics. However, this benign presentation is outweighed by confirmed external threat detections: the domain is blacklisted, and multiple security providers identified it as malicious, including Fortinet and Sophos. These signals create a material risk that the site, its infrastructure, or associated content may be unsafe for sensitive interaction, even though no conflicting legal identities or direct brand-impersonation indicators were identified. The domain’s published contact channel also contains a contact-channel integrity anomaly: [email protected], a deliverability-breaking typo or possible typosquat.
- The homepage and service pages describe accounting, tax, consultancy, government-filing, and audit services without detected high-risk financial-scheme or wallet-connect features.
- External reputation telemetry records 15 malicious detections from 20 effective evaluations, with Fortinet and Sophos among the flagged vendors.
- Registration records show the domain was created on 2022-01-28 and is 4.56 years old.
- Archive telemetry records 31 snapshots spanning 2022–2026, with 5 years tracked.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The website describes professional advisory and accounting services, but the supplied evidence does not show a licensing authority, registration number, or independently verified professional authorization. That is a regulatory-transparency gap requiring confirmation before relying on the firm for regulated accounting, audit, tax, or government-filing work; it is not, by itself, proof of a scam. The available identity linkage is likely rather than independently verified, so the site’s on-page presentation should not be treated as conclusive proof of the real-world operator. A third-party broker-intelligence source produced no match, which provides limited contextual reassurance but is not a licensing or regulatory determination.
- The homepage identifies the business as “España & Asociados” and lists “Ética,” “Profesionalismo,” “Innovación,” and “Experiencia” as stated values.
- The service content covers business consultancy, accounting and fiscal outsourcing, government and legal administration, and audit and assurance.
- Hosting telemetry records AS11878, TZULO - tzulo, inc., US.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by YR2, uses Domain Validation (DV), and is valid until 2026-11-09T05:22:09+00:00.
What to Verify Next
Before any sensitive engagement, independently confirm the firm’s legal existence and professional authorization with the relevant corporate, tax, accounting, or audit registry for the jurisdiction in which services are offered. Validate the named personnel, physical business details, engagement terms, data-processing arrangements, and payment instructions through an independently sourced channel rather than relying solely on information presented by the website. Any client-portal access should be deferred until the domain and operator have been confirmed through those independent checks.
- The site provides dedicated “Nosotros,” “Contacto,” “Servicios,” and “Portal de clientes” areas that can be compared against independently obtained business records.
- The homepage invites visitors to “Agenda una consulta inicial” and “Get A Quote,” indicating an intake and commercial-engagement pathway.
- The supplied page analysis found no sensitive form or external password-submission form during inspection.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is critical trust risk. The site has a plausible professional-services presentation, but confirmed malicious detections and blacklisting are decisive contradictions that prevent the website from being treated as trustworthy for sensitive interaction. Identity linkage remains likely but unverified, and the apparent legitimacy of the page content does not resolve the external threat evidence.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site resolves directly to a single likely origin IP, with no CDN detected and no edge-IP layer identified. Its hosting is provided through TZULO infrastructure in the United States; the valid DV TLS certificate supports transport encryption but does not establish operator legitimacy or offset the external reputation risk.
Closing Assessment
The appropriate posture is read-only review only until independent legal, professional, and operator checks are completed; login, credential submission, financial transactions, and transfer of sensitive client information should not proceed on the basis of the website alone.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about espanayasociados.com at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
