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

Movimento per la Decrescita Felice is a small Italian non-profit community focused on activism, research, and education around the concept of degrowth and sustainable living. The website serves as a hub for activists and practitioners sharing values of social justice and environmental sustainability. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and several common plugins such as Yoast SEO and MonsterInsights for analytics. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the domain age and registration data support the legitimacy of the organization. Recommendations include improving security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and adding clear contact information to enhance trust and compliance.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 organization operates in the niche sector of environmental and social activism, targeting a general audience interested in degrowth and sustainability. Its business model is community-driven and non-commercial, focusing on education and activism rather than revenue generation. The website positions itself as a credible and established movement with a history dating back to 2007. The presence of social media integration, particularly Facebook, supports community engagement. The lack of commercial elements or e-commerce indicates a focus on advocacy and information dissemination. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and improving transparency around privacy and security.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS and DNSSEC are properly implemented, which are strong foundational security measures. The use of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and content injection. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent but no privacy policy. The site would benefit from enhanced security controls, formal policies, and clear incident response channels to improve its security culture and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a detailed privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design. It leverages popular plugins for SEO, analytics, forms, events, and social media feeds. Google Fonts and reCAPTCHA are used for typography and bot protection respectively. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and advanced SEO features. The absence of advanced security headers and explicit privacy/legal pages indicates technical debt in compliance and security best practices. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and compliance aspects.
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.
