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

ASMEL operates a specialized digital platform focused on managing public sector job candidacies in Italy, including the MAXI AVVISO ASMEL 2025 and reserved interpellations for registered candidates. The platform integrates with national digital identity systems such as SPID and CIE for secure authentication and supports payment processing via PagoPA. The website targets public sector candidates and entities, providing application management, official notices, and candidate support services. The business is relatively young, founded in 2020, and serves a niche government-related market segment. Technically, the website employs legacy UI frameworks like DHTMLX and jQuery, with PHP backend scripts. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. There is no evidence of advanced CMS or modern frontend frameworks. SEO and accessibility features are basic, and no structured metadata (Open Graph or JSON-LD) is present. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking services, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by the URL), but no DNSSEC is enabled for the domain, and no security headers are visible in the HTML content. Authentication leverages SPID and CIE, which are strong identity frameworks in Italy. However, the absence of published privacy or cookie policies and lack of security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content, but improvements are recommended. Overall, ASMEL's website is functional and credible for its public sector recruitment purpose but would benefit from enhanced security practices, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to improve trust and resilience.

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.

Priority findings

8 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. 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"

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

ASMEL positions itself as a niche service provider in the Italian public sector recruitment domain, focusing on managing candidacies and interpellations for government job listings. Its competitive advantage lies in integration with national digital identity systems (SPID, CIE) and payment platforms (PagoPA), which are mandatory for public administration services in Italy. The business model revolves around providing a secure, centralized platform for candidates and public entities to manage recruitment processes efficiently. Revenue streams likely include service fees related to candidacy processing and administrative support. The target customers are public sector candidates and government entities. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and ongoing updates to notices (e.g., MAXI AVVISO 2025). The partnership ecosystem includes official government digital identity providers and payment platforms. Strategic observations suggest the company should enhance transparency and security policies to strengthen market trust and compliance with evolving regulations.

Security posture

ASMEL demonstrates a moderate security maturity level by leveraging strong authentication mechanisms such as SPID and CIE, which provide robust identity verification. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The platform does not expose sensitive data visibly, and no vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is functional but incomplete, with recommendations to implement DNSSEC, security headers, privacy policies, and incident response contacts to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and enforce HTTPS with HSTS headers to secure all communications.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  5. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy technology stack including jQuery and DHTMLX UI components, with PHP backend scripts. The frontend design is functional but lacks modern responsive design features, resulting in basic mobile optimization and accessibility. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. The site does not use analytics or tracking tools, indicating minimal data collection. Performance is moderate, with no explicit optimization techniques observed. SEO is basic, with minimal meta tags and no structured data. The technical debt is moderate due to legacy frameworks and lack of modern security headers. Modernization opportunities include adopting responsive frameworks, improving accessibility, and integrating SEO best practices. Technical risks include potential vulnerabilities from outdated libraries and missing security controls.
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.
