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

BASIS Vinschgau Venosta operates as a social activation hub based in South Tyrol, Italy, focusing on regional and social development through economy, culture, education, and social affairs. The organization leverages a multi-lingual website to engage a diverse audience including artists, educators, businesses, and community members. Their business model centers on coworking spaces, events, workshops, and residency programs, positioning them as a niche regional player fostering community and cultural growth. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, incorporating modern analytics and user experience tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and reCAPTCHA v3. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and basic protections, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is well addressed with cookie consent and a privacy policy, though no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and aligned with its social mission, but could improve in security transparency and technical hardening.

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

6 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 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

The organization targets regional development stakeholders including cultural practitioners, educational institutions, and social enterprises. Their competitive advantage lies in their integrated approach combining coworking, cultural events, and social projects within a historic site. Revenue streams likely include coworking fees, event ticketing, and project funding. The partnership with basis-space.odoo.com for event management indicates a strategic ecosystem. Growth indicators include active blog content, residency programs, and multi-channel social media engagement. The business operates as a small entity founded in 2018, with consistent branding and a clear mission. Strategic observations suggest potential to expand digital presence and formalize security and compliance frameworks to enhance trust and operational resilience.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with valid SSL certificates and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy protections. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a security gap. No published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts (Google Analytics, Hotjar) introduces moderate tracking and potential privacy concerns, though mitigated by consent. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a small non-profit but with room for improvement to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide a terms of service page to improve compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS using the Divi theme framework, supported by jQuery and slick carousel for UI components. Analytics and user behavior tracking are implemented via Google Analytics and Hotjar, with Google Tag Manager facilitating tag management. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and SEO meta tags. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but domain registrar is Key-Systems LLC. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates opportunities for modernization and improved security posture. The site structure and navigation are clear and consistent, supporting a positive user experience.
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.
