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

The Film Association of South Tyrol (FAS) is a professional organization representing film industry professionals in South Tyrol, Italy. It serves as a hub for filmmakers, actors, production companies, and service providers, promoting the region as a film-friendly location and supporting local film productions with international aspirations. The website is well-structured, bilingual (German and Italian), and provides clear information about the association's mission, membership, and news. The presence of partner logos and a newsletter subscription indicates active community engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder and common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and MediaElement.js. It employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and includes a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers and does not provide visible security policies or incident response contacts. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which is unusual but the website content and professional presentation suggest legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional front for the Film Association of South Tyrol, with minor improvements recommended in security headers and transparency around security policies. The missing WHOIS data warrants monitoring but does not currently indicate malicious intent.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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. 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 · 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

FAS operates as a regional professional association in the media sector, focusing on film professionals in South Tyrol. Its competitive advantage lies in its local expertise, political lobbying, and network facilitation for film productions. The business model is membership-based, providing advocacy and support services. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and event sponsorships. The target customers are film professionals and creatives in South Tyrol and beyond. The partnership ecosystem includes local film clubs and production service providers, enhancing its regional influence. Growth indicators include active news updates and event promotion. Strategic observations suggest a focus on strengthening South Tyrol's film industry presence internationally.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Incident response readiness appears minimal due to lack of contact channels for security issues. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small professional association but could be improved with additional controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Monitor domain WHOIS registration status and consider privacy protection if appropriate for organizational transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WPBakery Page Builder, leveraging jQuery and MediaElement.js for interactive and media features. It uses Google Fonts for typography and Magnific Popup for lightbox functionality. The site loads CSS and JS resources from its own domain and trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with no evident blocking scripts or heavy resources. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, hreflang attributes for language targeting, and structured navigation. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and missing security headers. Hosting provider details are not disclosed.
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.
