Full analysis
Overview
Fundatec is an institutional educational website presenting itself as a private-law, non-profit foundation that provides education, professional training, online courses, consulting, research, technical services, and institutional information for individuals and organizations.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed. The homepage presents a coherent educational and institutional purpose, including training, consulting, competitions, research, and technical development, with no investment, cryptocurrency, gambling, or other abuse-oriented business model identified. Available behavioral testing found no login form, sensitive form, hidden form, wallet connection, external posting, cloaking, or suspicious script activity. The domain is also long-established, which supports continuity of the site’s presence, although the real-world operator identity remains independently unverified.
- The homepage identifies Fundatec as a non-profit foundation and lists education, training, consulting, research, competitions, and technical-development activities.
- Behavioral testing of the homepage recorded no login form, hidden form, sensitive form, wallet-provider activity, external XHR or POST activity, or cloaking.
- Domain registration evidence records creation on 2011-04-27, with an age of 15.3 years.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The institutional content states that the organization is a private-law, non-profit foundation and presents a legal name, CNPJ, physical address in Porto Alegre, and telephone contacts. These are substantive on-site identity claims, but they do not independently verify the operator or establish regulatory authorization. The available pages do not present a licensing authority or license number; for an educational and consulting organization, this is a transparency item to confirm according to the specific service being purchased. The broader technical and reputation evidence is consistent with an established site, while the site’s transport security uses a domain-validated certificate rather than organization-validated identification.
- The institutional page identifies “Fundação Universidade Empresa de Tecnologia e Ciências,” gives CNPJ 87.878.476/0001-08, and publishes a Porto Alegre address and telephone numbers.
- The site’s TLS certificate is issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M01, uses DV validation, and is valid through 2026-11-05.
- No broker-dataset match or malicious or suspicious reputation detection was recorded for the domain.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, an independent check should confirm that the organization named on the institutional page corresponds to the relevant official registration and that any course, consulting, or service transaction is covered by clear terms. Prospective customers should review cancellation, refund, delivery, and support arrangements before purchase and use payment methods offering appropriate transaction protection. Contact details should be corroborated through an independent channel rather than relying solely on information supplied by the website.
- The homepage provides identifiable institutional, location, and contact content suitable for comparison against independent records.
- The site lists online courses and professional-development offerings, making course-specific terms and refund conditions the relevant transaction checks.
Summary Verdict
Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate, low-risk educational website and supports a high-trust posture. The site’s real-world operator identity is not independently verified, so legitimacy should be understood as evidence-consistent rather than proven.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is served through Amazon infrastructure, specifically AS16509, with Amazon.com, Inc. identified as the hosting provider. A CDN/WAF layer is present, with the observed edge address 75.2.50.102 and additional potential origin candidates; this reduces direct exposure and is a mitigating infrastructure signal, but it is not independent proof of organizational legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Routine browsing is proportionate to the observed risk posture; before submitting credentials or making payments, ordinary independent checks of the organization, transaction terms, and payment protections should be completed.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about fundatec.org.br 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.
