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. 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Civitta operates in the consultancy and digital services sector with a diversified portfolio including strategy, research, innovation, public policy, economic development, digital marketing, AI, and funding services. The company targets clients in multiple regions, emphasizing cross-border collaboration and innovation. The business model is service-oriented with a focus on advisory and digital transformation. The website content and structured data indicate a mature organization with a large operational footprint. Social media integration and professional branding support market positioning. No direct revenue or partnership domains were identified in the provided data. The company appears to maintain a strong market presence with growth potential in digital and innovation services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare DNS usage. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, representing an area for improvement. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, which could impact security readiness and transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers, formal policies, and consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and prominently display privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Include clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Gutenberg block editor and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern CMS platform with SEO optimization. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with caching and font optimizations observed. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is well-chosen for a consultancy firm, though improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce technical risks and enhance user trust.
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.
