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

FORMEDIL Abruzzo PMI ed Artigianato is a regional non-profit entity dedicated to providing training and safety services in the construction sector within the Abruzzo region of Italy. The organization offers a variety of free and funded courses targeted at construction workers and companies registered with Edilcassa Abruzzo. It also functions as an accredited employment agency (APL) and provides technical assistance related to workplace safety and regulatory compliance. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and relevant content for its target audience of SMEs and artisans in the construction industry. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with the Gridbox builder, uses modern web technologies, and integrates Google Tag Manager and hCaptcha for analytics and security. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, but incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent. The domain is very recently registered, which may indicate a new web presence or rebranding rather than a new business. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves its business purpose well but should improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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 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';…

  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 occupies a niche position as the sole regional entity for construction sector training and safety in Abruzzo, leveraging its accreditation as an employment agency to offer comprehensive workforce services. Its business model is non-profit and service-oriented, focusing on education, certification, and regulatory compliance support. The presence of downloadable course calendars, circulars, and social media engagement indicates active communication and outreach. The recent domain registration suggests a possible digital transformation or rebranding effort. Partnerships with related service providers like Impresa Fidati enhance its ecosystem. The target market includes construction SMEs, artisans, and workers requiring mandatory safety and professional training. Growth indicators include ongoing course offerings and updated circulars. The business benefits from trust signals such as accreditation and official documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. The use of hCaptcha on forms adds protection against automated abuse. However, the absence of a published privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and incident response contacts represents compliance gaps and potential risk areas. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML or scripts. Third-party scripts are limited to trusted providers like Google and hCaptcha. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced by formalizing privacy and incident response documentation and improving accessibility compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add a security policy page including incident response contacts such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Gridbox website builder, leveraging modern web fonts and asynchronous script loading for performance. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing integration, and hCaptcha protects forms from spam and abuse. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple scripts and carousel components. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility 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.
