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

Arexpo is a publicly majority-owned company focused on urban regeneration and the development of strategic areas in Italy, notably the MIND Milano Innovation District, the site of Expo Milano 2015. The company operates by fostering innovative public-private partnerships to transform and manage urban spaces, aiming for sustainable and long-term development. The website reflects a professional and structured digital presence, leveraging WordPress CMS with SEO and analytics tools integrated. The content is primarily in Italian with English alternatives, targeting public institutions, private operators, and citizens interested in urban development. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and basic security practices, though the WordPress version is outdated, and explicit privacy and terms of service pages are missing, indicating areas for compliance improvement. Overall, the domain registration and business information are consistent and trustworthy, supporting a medium-sized enterprise profile in the real estate and government sectors.

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

4 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. 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

Arexpo holds a key position in Italy's urban regeneration market, managing the legacy of Expo Milano 2015 and promoting innovation districts. Its business model centers on facilitating and managing public-private partnerships, offering services in project management, asset management, and procurement. The company demonstrates transparency through extensive publication of procurement notices and tender documents, leveraging official platforms like SINTEL. The target audience includes institutional stakeholders and private investors, with a focus on sustainable urban development. The company’s digital presence supports its market positioning with clear branding and consistent messaging. Partnerships with entities like Principia S.p.A. indicate strategic evolution and rebranding efforts.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the use of an older WordPress version (5.5.4) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly patched. Security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided content, suggesting potential improvements. No sensitive data exposure or obvious vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts indicates a gap in security transparency and readiness. Recommendations include updating the CMS and plugins, implementing comprehensive security headers, and publishing security and incident response policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish and disclose incident response procedures and contact channels for security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a robust security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.5.4 using the Enfold theme and Avia Framework, with Yoast SEO and Popup Builder plugins. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization and basic accessibility. Performance is moderate, with minified CSS and JS assets. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses canonical URLs and hreflang tags for multilingual support (Italian and English). There is room for modernization by updating the CMS and improving security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
