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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. 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

Fastweb operates in the telecommunications and energy sectors, targeting a broad audience from consumers to large enterprises. Its business model focuses on bundled offerings combining internet, mobile, and energy services, leveraging partnerships with Vodafone for mobile network coverage. The company demonstrates strong market positioning with multiple service tiers and digital engagement tools. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for internet, mobile, and energy services, as well as device sales and value-added digital services. The presence of educational and corporate responsibility initiatives indicates a strategic approach to brand building and customer loyalty. Fastweb's ecosystem includes digital academies and responsible connectivity campaigns, enhancing its competitive advantage.

Security posture

Fastweb's website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure data collection forms with explicit user consent. The presence of a responsible disclosure page indicates awareness and readiness for vulnerability management. Privacy policies are GDPR compliant and prominently linked. However, the absence of a published Data Protection Officer contact and security.txt file suggests areas for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for a large telecommunications provider.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit Data Protection Officer contact information on the website to enhance GDPR transparency.
  2. Implement and expose a security.txt file to facilitate standardized vulnerability reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Expand incident response contact channels to include dedicated security and abuse email addresses.
  5. Continue to monitor and update security headers and SSL configurations to maintain high security standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, utilizing SVG icons and video backgrounds for enhanced user experience. Analytics are managed via Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager, indicating advanced tracking capabilities. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast with efficient resource loading. Hosting details are not disclosed, but the infrastructure supports high availability and scalability. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities to improve by adopting security.txt and enhancing DPO visibility.
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.
