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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

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

Centro Internazionale Crocevia occupies a niche position in the non-profit sector focused on agroecology and food sovereignty. Its long history and active engagement in campaigns and projects provide competitive advantages in advocacy and grassroots mobilization. The business model centers on supporting social movements and disseminating knowledge rather than commercial revenue streams. The target audience includes activists, NGOs, researchers, and the general public interested in sustainable agriculture and human rights. The organization maintains a modest digital footprint with active social media channels, supporting its outreach and community building efforts.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance awareness. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in formal security governance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and CookieYes is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalization.

Recommendations

  1. Develop and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.
  4. Provide direct contact information for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It employs jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, alongside CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with structured data implemented via JSON-LD enhancing SEO. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The technical stack is standard for non-profit organizations, balancing ease of use with sufficient functionality. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and performance optimization 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.
