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

Fastweb Digital Academy is an Italian online education platform specializing in digital skills development, including courses in digital creativity, cybersecurity, digital workplace, soft skills, and digital marketing. The website targets Italian-speaking learners seeking to enhance their digital competencies. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 and integrates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Piwik PRO, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and published privacy or terms of service policies, which are recommended for compliance and trust. The WHOIS data is unavailable or malformed, limiting domain trust assessment, but the website content and technical setup suggest a legitimate educational entity. Overall, the site scores well on content quality and business credibility 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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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
  • 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 platform operates in the education sector, focusing on digital skills training for a medium-sized audience primarily in Italy. Its business model revolves around offering online courses and initiatives, supported by digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement and growth. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for operational improvement. The integration of multiple tracking and marketing services indicates a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention. The website's consistent branding and professional content position it as a credible player in the digital education market, though the lack of WHOIS transparency slightly impacts trust. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy risks, which should be managed carefully. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and providing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a security or abuse contact email.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management foundation. It integrates Piwik PRO for analytics, Google Tag Manager for tag management, and Facebook Pixel for marketing tracking, reflecting a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of external scripts. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the data. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
