40/100

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

Agos Ducato S.p.A. is a well-established Italian consumer credit company with over 30 years of market presence, serving millions of customers through a large network of branches and digital platforms. The website provides comprehensive corporate information, social responsibility initiatives, and partner portals, reflecting a mature business model focused on customer-centric financial services. Technically, the site uses ASP.NET Web Forms with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates advanced consent management and analytics tools. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and missing DNS records represent significant security and operational risks. While the site demonstrates good privacy compliance and business credibility, these technical shortcomings reduce overall trust and security posture. Strategic improvements in SSL deployment, DNS configuration, and enhanced security headers are recommended to align the website with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Agos Ducato holds a strong market position in the Italian finance sector, leveraging a hybrid human and digital approach to consumer credit. The company benefits from certifications such as Gender Equality and Great Place to Work, enhancing its brand reputation. Its ecosystem includes partner portals for business and suppliers, indicating a robust B2B engagement strategy. The website content targets consumers, partners, and stakeholders interested in corporate governance and sustainability. The parent company relationship with Crédit Agricole adds financial stability and international backing. Growth indicators include ongoing ESG reporting and digital transformation efforts.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of HTTPS and invalid SSL configuration, exposing users to potential data interception risks. Security headers like X-Frame-Options and HttpOnly cookies are implemented, but critical protections such as HSTS and OCSP stapling are missing. DNS misconfigurations further undermine domain reliability and email functionality. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, limiting transparency. The use of modern consent management tools indicates awareness of privacy regulations, but overall security maturity requires urgent enhancement to protect business and customer data effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across all site pages.
  2. Correct DNS configurations to include necessary A, MX, NS, and TXT records for domain resolution and email services.
  3. Enable HSTS and other advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy to harden the site against attacks.
  4. Publish clear security policies and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimization to improve user experience and SEO.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with client-side libraries such as jQuery and Modernizr, indicating a mature but somewhat legacy technology stack. Integration with Didomi for consent management and Adobe DTM for tag management shows adoption of modern marketing technologies. Performance data is unavailable, but the site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. The absence of DNS records and SSL certificate are critical technical issues that could impact uptime, user trust, and search engine ranking. The site uses custom CMS components and external partner portals, suggesting a complex infrastructure requiring ongoing maintenance and modernization.
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.
