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

Avris.it is a personal website and blog operated by Andrea Vos, a full-stack software engineer and queer activist based in Italy. The site serves as a portfolio showcasing software projects, blogging on topics such as technology, society, and politics, as well as photography and writing. The website targets a general audience interested in technology and social issues, with a niche focus on queer activism and rationalism. The business model is primarily personal branding and content sharing without direct commercial transactions. Technically, the site is built on a modern stack including Symfony PHP framework, Bootstrap for UI, and uses Font Awesome and Twemoji for icons and emojis. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly, with good performance and modern meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Cards. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, but lacks some security headers and formal security policies. The domain is aged since 2014 but currently shows an expired status which poses a risk to availability and trust. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy for a personal portfolio but would benefit from improved compliance and security practices.

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

  2. 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 5 days ago

      What to do: Renew domain registration immediately

  3. 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';…

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 · 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention avris.it, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for avris.it right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website represents a small personal brand in the technology sector, focusing on software development and social activism. It leverages content marketing through blogging and writing to engage its audience. The lack of commercial elements suggests a non-commercial or freelance business model. The presence of multiple social media channels indicates an active engagement strategy. The domain age supports credibility, but the recent expiration is a risk factor. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident. The site’s niche positioning in queer activism and rationalism may attract a dedicated but limited audience. Growth potential depends on content expansion and formalization of compliance and security measures.

Security posture

The site benefits from HTTPS and DNSSEC, ensuring encrypted communications and DNS integrity. However, it lacks common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies reduce GDPR compliance confidence. Absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency and incident response readiness. The expired domain status is a critical operational risk. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Renew the domain registration promptly to avoid service disruption and maintain trust.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  5. Consider adding contact information for security incidents to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern PHP framework (Symfony) combined with Bootstrap for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. The use of Font Awesome and Twemoji enhances visual appeal and user experience. The site loads multiple JavaScript bundles with integrity attributes, indicating attention to security in resource loading. Analytics is implemented via Plausible, a privacy-focused service, reflecting a minimal tracking approach. The site structure is clear with semantic HTML and meta tags supporting SEO. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based build. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in script loading and caching. The expired domain status is a technical risk that could impact uptime and SEO rankings.
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.
