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

4 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 11 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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 company leverages its parent Cedacri's market presence to maintain leadership in the Italian financial IT sector. Its business model centers on software development and IT outsourcing, with a diversified portfolio including banking software, asset management, and public administration solutions. The presence of investor relations and certifications indicates a transparent and regulated corporate environment. The company actively engages customers and partners through multiple language sites and social media channels, supporting growth and brand recognition. The partnership ecosystem includes Cedacri as the parent company, reinforcing credibility and operational scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security maturity with implementation of several security headers and a content security policy. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical vulnerability that severely impacts the security posture. Additional gaps include lack of DNSSEC, CAA records, and modern TLS protocols. Privacy compliance is strong with comprehensive policies managed via Iubenda and consent mechanisms in place. Incident response and security policy disclosures are not found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture requires urgent enhancement to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Upgrade server TLS protocols to support TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to enhance domain security.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Review and enhance cookie security flags and session management practices.
  6. Regularly update backend technologies, including PHP, to supported versions.
  7. Improve website performance metrics and mobile optimization for better user experience.
  8. Maintain and expand privacy compliance efforts with clear data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on a PHP 7.4.33 backend served by nginx on a DigitalOcean IP. The front-end uses Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts, indicating a standard but somewhat dated technology stack. Analytics are handled via Google Analytics and Matomo, with consent managed by Iubenda scripts. The site lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support and no modern TLS protocols enabled, which is a significant technical risk. Performance data is missing but inferred to be slow. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and language alternates. The CMS appears custom-built without popular CMS frameworks. Hosting and DNS configurations are standard but lack advanced security features like DNSSEC.
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.
