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

Dental Cadmos is a well-established Italian dental journal operated by Edra S.p.A., providing authoritative and professional content for Italian dentists since 1933. The website serves as a platform for publishing scientific articles, abstracts, and educational materials in the dental healthcare sector. It targets dental professionals seeking updated knowledge and continuing education. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and WPML for multilingual support, and it integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. However, no explicit security headers or incident response policies are published, and WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve transparency and security posture.

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. 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

  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

      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"

    • 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';…
  3. 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business operates in the healthcare publishing sector, focusing on dental professionals in Italy. It leverages a subscription and content publishing model to deliver scientific and educational materials. The company benefits from partnerships with Edra S.p.A. and related dental education platforms. The market position is niche but established, with indexing in major scientific databases enhancing credibility. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, likely via contact forms. The partnership ecosystem includes several related domains for dental education and publishing. Growth indicators include regular publication updates and integration with professional course providers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy verification. The site should enhance its security posture by adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing incident response contact information to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact details on the website.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved transparency and user trust.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using version 5.8.11, with jQuery 3.6.0 and FontAwesome 5.5.0 for UI elements. It uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and WPML for multilingual content management. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and tracking. The site is responsive and mobile-optimized with a moderate performance profile. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
