0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Adverteam is an established Italian communication agency founded in 1998, specializing in creating communication strategies and campaigns to foster relationships between brands and stakeholders. The company targets brands seeking comprehensive communication solutions and positions itself as a medium-sized player in the Italian media sector. The website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and technologies, including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Matomo Analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security measures such as HTTPS, DNSSEC, and reCAPTCHA are in place, contributing to a solid security posture. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts suggests areas for compliance improvement. Overall, the website is professional, well-branded, and trustworthy, with good technical implementation and moderate privacy compliance.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 company operates in the media and communication sector, offering strategic communication and campaign services. Its long domain age and consistent branding indicate market stability and trust. The presence of social media channels supports a broad outreach strategy. The business model focuses on service delivery to brands and stakeholders, with digital marketing and analytics tools integrated for performance tracking. The lack of explicit business contact details and certifications may limit some trust signals but does not detract significantly from its market position. Growth potential exists through enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

Security posture

Adverteam demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced, DNSSEC enabled, and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms. The website employs multiple analytics and tracking scripts, which are managed with a cookie consent mechanism via Iubenda, supporting GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.

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.
