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

AISM (Associazione Italiana Sclerosi Multipla) is a well-established Italian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by multiple sclerosis. The website serves as a comprehensive resource offering information, support services, research funding, and advocacy. It targets patients, caregivers, volunteers, and researchers primarily within Italy. The organization maintains a strong market position as a leading association in its sector, supported by a large-scale operation and a professional digital presence. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 9 with modern front-end frameworks like Bootstrap 5 and integrates various third-party libraries for enhanced user experience, including Owl Carousel and Leaflet for maps. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and employs Google Tag Manager and CookieHub for analytics and cookie consent management, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and provides cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a solid security posture. However, it lacks a publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the content or scripts. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally designed, and compliant with GDPR requirements. It effectively balances user experience, accessibility, and security, making it a reliable platform for its audience.

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

5 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048
  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 7 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

AISM operates in the healthcare non-profit sector, focusing on multiple sclerosis. Its business model relies on donations, fundraising events, memberships, and partnerships, with dedicated domains for donations and solidarity gifts. The organization targets a broad audience including patients, families, volunteers, and researchers. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offering, strong brand recognition in Italy, and active engagement through digital channels and social media. The website reflects a mature organization with strategic partnerships and a clear mission to support and advocate for people with multiple sclerosis.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers in place. Cookie consent is managed via CookieHub, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adding formal security documentation and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting of security issues.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and input validation to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 9 CMS with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. It integrates several JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel for sliders and Leaflet for interactive maps. Google Tag Manager and CookieHub are used for analytics and cookie management, indicating a modern approach to data collection and privacy compliance. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. The site structure and meta tags support SEO well. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
