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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention fad-ecm.it, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

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 education sector with a focus on healthcare and legal professionals, leveraging accreditations to attract a large user base exceeding 216,000 users and offering over 750 courses since 2009. The business model includes paid courses with options for free access via institutional agreements. The company benefits from a strong brand identity and consistent messaging emphasizing quality and independence. Its parent company, Zadig Srl Società Benefit, is based in Milan and maintains transparent corporate information. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes regional health authorities and professional councils, enhancing its credibility and reach. Growth indicators include continuous course updates and mobile app availability, positioning SAEPE as a leading national provider in its niche.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS, secure cookie handling, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. The use of third-party libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap is current but should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries to prevent vulnerabilities from outdated components.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms with detailed options and retention policies to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and responsive front-end stack using Bootstrap 4 and jQuery 3.3.1, ensuring compatibility across devices and browsers. The presence of Google Fonts and FontAwesome enhances visual appeal and iconography. The platform supports mobile users with dedicated Android and iOS apps, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external resources and images. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting details are not disclosed but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed through proper meta tags and responsive design. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further and implement advanced security headers.
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.
