54/100

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

Colorificio Sammarinese is a well-established paint manufacturing company based in San Marino with approximately 80 years of history. The company specializes in producing paints and coatings for light and professional construction sectors, offering a broad product range including decorative paints, industrial coatings, and an integrated tintometric system called Colormaker. Their website demonstrates a strong market presence with comprehensive product information, multilingual support, and active social media channels. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern web technologies and Cloudflare for caching and protection. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which significantly impacts the site's security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, and contact information is clearly provided. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

3 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on paints and coatings for construction and industrial applications. Their business model includes product manufacturing, distribution, and providing tintometric solutions. The target audience includes professional painters, construction firms, distributors, and end consumers seeking quality paint products. The company leverages partnerships with related brands such as Colsam PureTech, Rival Colorificio, and Samoline, enhancing its product portfolio and market reach. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a medium-sized enterprise with a strong regional presence in San Marino and international outreach through multilingual content and social media engagement.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While Cloudflare is used for caching and some protection, critical security headers and modern TLS protocols are missing. No incident response or security policy pages are found, and there is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. Forms are present but without explicit security policy references. The site uses HttpOnly and Secure flags on cookies, which is positive. Immediate remediation is required to install a valid SSL certificate, enable HTTPS, and implement additional security headers and best practices to protect user data and comply with modern security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  6. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  7. Regularly audit and update all plugins and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance privacy compliance by adding explicit cookie consent mechanisms.
  9. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
  10. Monitor and optimize website performance and loading times.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and WPML for multilingual support. It uses popular libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Select2. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. Hosting is managed via DreamHost DNS with Cloudflare providing caching and proxy services. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization and professional design. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS is a major technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable but the site uses chunked transfer encoding and caching headers indicating some optimization. The technical stack is modern but requires urgent security upgrades and performance monitoring.
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.
