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

Associazione Cerchio degli Uomini is a well-established Italian non-profit organization dedicated to promoting social change in male identity and gender relations, focusing on overcoming patriarchal and violent models. With over 20 years of activity, it offers support services, educational programs, and community initiatives primarily targeting Italian-speaking audiences interested in gender equality and personal growth. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear communication of its mission and partnerships. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as Elementor, Slider Revolution, and MailChimp integration, hosted on a provider inferred from the nameservers. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, though some accessibility features are basic. Privacy compliance is addressed through the inclusion of privacy and cookie policies, though the cookie consent mechanism is not explicit. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and incident response information indicates room for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators were found. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible, with minor technical and compliance enhancements recommended.

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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

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 non-profit sector focusing on social promotion and gender equality. Its market position is stable with a long domain age supporting its history. The business model revolves around community support, training, and recovery programs, funded by regional and metropolitan institutions and foundations. The partnership ecosystem includes local municipalities and social organizations, enhancing its credibility and reach. Revenue streams likely include grants, donations, and training fees. The target customer segment is men and the broader community interested in social change and violence prevention. Growth indicators include recent projects and active communication channels. Strategic observations suggest maintaining strong institutional partnerships and enhancing digital presence for broader impact.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as CSP and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed but could be improved with explicit cookie consent mechanisms. The security culture appears basic but functional. Business impact of current gaps is moderate, with recommendations to strengthen DNS security, implement security headers, and publish incident response information to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add an explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with EU privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with popular plugins such as Elementor for page building, Slider Revolution for interactive sliders, and MailChimp integration for newsletter subscriptions. The hosting provider is inferred from the nameservers as Host-Anycast. Performance is moderate with some optimization possible. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt appears low, though enabling DNSSEC and security headers would modernize the security posture. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, balanced with privacy policy disclosures. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
