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 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 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

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

ASviS holds a leading position in Italy's sustainable development advocacy sector, leveraging partnerships with nearly 300 member organizations. Its business model is non-profit and advocacy-driven, focusing on education, policy influence, and stakeholder mobilization. The alliance publishes detailed reports and organizes events to engage its audience. The website's content and social media integration reflect a well-established network and a strategic approach to outreach. Growth indicators include active content updates and diversified communication channels. No direct revenue streams are evident, consistent with its non-profit status.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present, which could enhance protection against certain attacks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site maintains good baseline security suitable for its informational and advocacy role.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with best practices and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery and modern UI libraries like Fancybox, Flickity, and AOS for animations and sliders, indicating a hybrid approach between legacy and modern front-end technologies. Google Fonts are used for typography. The CMS is not explicitly identified but appears custom or proprietary. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and content-rich website with opportunities for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
