Exanet srl is a well-established Italian company specializing in advanced web development, e-commerce solutions, SEO, and digital marketing services. Operating since 1996, the company targets businesses seeking to enhance their online presence through tailored web projects, domain management, and email services.

The site is mobile-optimized and features a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements.

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. 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';…

  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.

    • 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

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

Exanet operates in the technology sector, focusing on web development and digital marketing services. Their business model revolves around providing customized internet solutions including website creation, e-commerce platforms, SEO optimization, and domain/email management. The company leverages its long history since 1996 to build trust and attract SMEs and professionals primarily in Italy. Their service portfolio includes pay-per-click campaigns and social media management, indicating a comprehensive digital marketing approach. The presence of social media links and a detailed cookie consent mechanism suggests awareness of modern marketing and compliance trends. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating a standalone small business. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its integrated service offerings and local market expertise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner that allows granular user control. The use of Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics is transparent and consent-based. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security hardening. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. The security score is good but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them to latest secure versions.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Font Awesome/Themify Icons for UI elements. It integrates advanced sliders (Revolution Slider) and carousel components (Owl Carousel) for dynamic content presentation. Google Fonts are used for typography. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, providing detailed user interaction insights. CookieYes manages cookie consent with a comprehensive and user-friendly interface. The site is mobile-optimized and loads with moderate performance. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation is solid with opportunities to improve performance and security hardening.
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.
