<meta name="description" content="[Spanish description with cybersecurity keywords - 150-160 chars]">
<meta name="keywords" content="ciberseguridad, seguridad de la información, SGSI, ISO 27001, evaluación de riesgos, respuesta a incidentes, gestión de vulnerabilidades, protección de datos, control de acceso, seguridad en la nube, DevSecOps, cumplimiento normativo, GDPR, arquitectura de seguridad, formación en seguridad, modelado de amenazas">

<!-- Open Graph Spanish -->
<meta property="og:title" content="[Spanish Title]">
<meta property="og:description" content="[Spanish Description]">
<meta property="og:locale" content="es_ES">  <!-- or es_MX for Latin America -->

<!-- Twitter Card Spanish -->
<meta name="twitter:title" content="[Spanish Title]">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="[Spanish Description]">

• Access Control → Control de acceso
• Vulnerability Management → Gestión de vulnerabilidades

Step 4: Quality Validation

# Check for English content in Spanish pages
grep -rn "security\|management\|policy\|risk" *_es.html | grep -v "es\"" | head -20

# Validate meta tags completeness
grep -A 3 '<meta name="keywords"' *_es.html | grep -v "es" | head -10

# Check og:locale
grep 'og:locale' *_es.html | grep -v "es_ES\|es_MX"

# Validate Schema.org inLanguage
grep 'inLanguage' *_es.html | grep -v '"es"'

# Check for inconsistent terminology
grep -rn "seguridad cibernética" *_es.html  # Should be "ciberseguridad"
