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

The website represents Alessandro Scarpellini, an Italian art director and design manager specializing in strategy, branding, and visual communication. The site serves as a professional portfolio showcasing a wide range of projects and highlights the curator role of Visual Journal. The business model appears to be a small-scale, personal service provider targeting clients seeking design and branding expertise. The website is well structured with good content quality and mobile optimization, though it lacks advanced accessibility features and comprehensive SEO beyond basic meta tags. Technically, the site is built with standard HTML5 and CSS3 without detectable CMS or frameworks. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and responsive design. However, no analytics or tracking technologies are present, indicating minimal user tracking. Security posture is moderate but weakened by the expired domain registration and lack of DNSSEC or security headers. HTTPS status is unknown but assumed present due to modern standards. Security evaluation reveals critical concerns due to the domain expiration, which poses risks of hijacking or downtime. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security policy information is provided. Overall, the site is professional but requires urgent domain renewal and improved security and privacy compliance to reduce risk and enhance trust. Strategic recommendations include immediate domain renewal, implementation of DNSSEC, addition of privacy and cookie policies, deployment of security headers, and enforcement of HTTPS. These steps will improve security posture, compliance, and user trust, supporting the business's professional image and operational continuity.

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

10 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

    • 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. DNS health

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

    • Critical

      Domain Expired

      Domain expired 9 days ago

      What to do: Renew domain registration immediately

  4. 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 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Alessandro Scarpellini operates as a solo or small-scale design professional focusing on art direction, branding, and visual communication. The portfolio site positions him as a niche expert with a curated project list and social media presence, targeting clients in creative industries. The business model is service-based, likely relying on project commissions and collaborations. The absence of e-commerce or advertising suggests a pure service offering. The site’s market positioning is that of a specialized creative professional with a strong personal brand. Growth indicators include active social media and curation of Visual Journal, which may enhance reputation and networking. No parent company or subsidiaries are indicated, confirming an independent operation.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic with significant gaps. The expired domain registration is a critical vulnerability that threatens site availability and domain ownership integrity. Lack of DNSSEC and security headers reduces protection against DNS attacks and common web vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating GDPR non-compliance. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting readiness for security events. The site does not use analytics or tracking scripts, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is low to moderate, with urgent need for domain renewal and policy implementation to mitigate risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Renew the domain registration immediately to prevent loss of domain control and service disruption.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  3. Implement and publish privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve web security.
  5. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with a valid SSL certificate and strong configuration.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with clean HTML5 and CSS3, featuring responsive design and lazy loading images for performance optimization. No CMS or JavaScript frameworks are detected, indicating a static or manually maintained site. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Accessibility is basic with standard semantic HTML but no ARIA roles or advanced features. No analytics or third-party scripts are present, minimizing external dependencies. Hosting provider and SSL details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate, likely sufficient for the site’s scope but could benefit from further optimization and accessibility improvements.
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.
