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

Alcyon Italia is a specialized veterinary company operating an e-commerce platform tailored for veterinary professionals in Italy. The company offers a broad range of veterinary products, including consumables, equipment, pharmaceuticals, and software solutions such as dr.veto. The website reflects a medium-sized business with a clear focus on the veterinary healthcare sector, supported by ISO 9001 certification and comprehensive contact information. Technically, the site is built on PrestaShop with modern web technologies and provides a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though improvements are recommended in security headers and incident response transparency. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable risk factor affecting domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security practices and clearer domain registration transparency.

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 targets veterinarians and veterinary clinics with a B2B e-commerce model, offering products and services that support veterinary practice management and operations. Partnerships with software providers and payment solutions indicate a mature ecosystem. The presence of multiple related Alcyon group domains suggests a broader corporate structure. The business leverages certifications and quality management to differentiate itself. Growth potential is supported by digital presence and specialized offerings. The company maintains active social media channels and provides extensive customer support, indicating a customer-centric approach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure third-party services such as PayPal and Smartsupp live chat. Cookie consent is implemented with options to accept or reject, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which impacts overall trust. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve security transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and build trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance SEO metadata and accessibility features to improve discoverability and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses PrestaShop 1.7.6.5 as its CMS platform, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It integrates third-party services including PayPal for payments and Smartsupp for live chat support. The site loads multiple CSS and JS libraries for UI components and data tables. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO is basic with meta description present but keywords are empty. The site uses standard HTML5 and modern JavaScript libraries but lacks advanced performance optimizations such as lazy loading or critical CSS. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
