L'Associazione I Borghi più belli d’Italia is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the cultural and historical heritage of Italy's small towns. Founded in 2002, it certifies and supports over 360 Borghi, positioning itself as a leader in cultural tourism within Italy. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for information, events, publications, and community engagement targeting tourists and cultural enthusiasts. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks, offering good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, DNSSEC, and cookie consent mechanisms, though additional security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies could enhance trust. Overall, the site reflects a mature digital presence aligned with its mission and audience.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

  3. 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 association operates in the hospitality and tourism sector with a focus on cultural heritage. Its business model revolves around certification, promotion, and community building rather than direct commercial sales. The presence of ISO9001 certification for its selection process adds credibility. The organization leverages partnerships and digital content to maintain market leadership. Social media integration and multilingual support indicate a strategy to reach both domestic and international audiences. The website content and structure support its role as an authoritative source for Italian Borghi tourism.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. Cookie consent is managed via Iubenda, ensuring GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of advanced security headers and a public vulnerability disclosure policy indicates room for improvement. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be addressed to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  3. Develop and publish incident response and security policy documents accessible to users and partners.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.3 with a suite of popular plugins including WPBakery Page Builder, LayerSlider, and Ultimate VC Addons. It uses jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend enhancements. The site is multilingual via WPML, supporting Italian and English. Performance is moderate with some optimization possible. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO practices are adequately implemented with meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced 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.
