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

The website consumienergia.it/portaleConsumi is an official Italian government-backed portal managed by Acquirente Unico S.p.A. It provides consumers with free access to their electricity and gas consumption data, leveraging secure authentication methods such as SPID and the electronic identity card (CIE). The portal is positioned as a trusted public service, offering detailed information, FAQs, and tools to empower consumers in managing their energy usage. The site is well-branded with consistent use of official logos and clear navigation tailored to its target audience of Italian energy consumers. Technically, the site employs a modern yet straightforward technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Matomo analytics. It is mobile-optimized and accessible, though some security enhancements such as DNSSEC and Content Security Policy headers could be implemented. The site uses HTTPS and enforces cache control headers to protect user data. No blocking or WAF mechanisms interfere with content access. From a security perspective, the portal demonstrates good practices with strong user authentication and no visible vulnerabilities in the provided content. However, it lacks explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is strong with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, though the cookie consent mechanism could be improved. Overall, the portal is a credible, secure, and user-friendly platform serving an essential public function. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency would further enhance trust and resilience.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      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

  3. 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 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';…
  4. 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Acquirente Unico S.p.A. operates this portal as a medium-sized entity in the Italian energy sector, providing a legally mandated service to consumers. The business model focuses on transparency and consumer empowerment by offering direct access to consumption data. The portal benefits from partnerships with ARERA, the Italian energy regulator, enhancing its market position and trustworthiness. Revenue streams are likely public funding or regulatory mandates rather than direct monetization. The target customers are residential and small business energy consumers in Italy. The portal's comprehensive FAQ and educational content indicate a focus on customer support and engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes ARERA and the Ministry of Economic Development (mase.gov.it). The company shows a strategic commitment to digital identity integration (SPID/CIE) and data security.

Security posture

The portal exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of strong authentication mechanisms (SPID and CIE), and cache control headers to prevent data leakage. The absence of DNSSEC and CSP headers represents moderate security gaps that could be exploited in DNS spoofing or cross-site scripting attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site does not expose sensitive data or use outdated libraries. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of explicit contacts. Overall, the portal balances usability and security well but should enhance DNS security and publish clear security policies to improve compliance and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) and related attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  4. Enhance the cookie consent mechanism to ensure explicit user consent and compliance with GDPR.
  5. Add explicit security and incident response policy information on the website to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable and widely supported technology stack including jQuery 2.2.4 and Bootstrap 3.x, which are somewhat dated but still functional. The integration of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with features like skip links and ARIA attributes. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous and deferred loading of scripts. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom-built platform, which may require dedicated maintenance. The site uses standard datepicker and menu libraries to enhance user experience. Technical debt is moderate due to older libraries and missing modern security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack and improve SEO and accessibility further.
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.
