Risk levelHigh

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

La Rotta dei Fenici is a cultural tourism website dedicated to promoting a European Council-endorsed itinerary that connects Mediterranean heritage, archaeology, and tourism. The site targets tourists and cultural enthusiasts interested in Mediterranean history and archaeological sites. The business model focuses on cultural promotion and tourism facilitation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, with SEO and donation plugins integrated, hosted by Seeweb in Italy. The site is mobile-optimized and uses HTTPS, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, and no explicit contact information is provided, which may affect user trust and regulatory compliance. Overall, the site is professional and content-rich but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

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

10 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

The website occupies a niche cultural tourism sector, leveraging endorsement by the Council of Europe to establish credibility. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized content and cultural heritage focus. Revenue streams likely include donations and possibly partnerships with tourism entities. The target audience includes tourists, academics, and cultural heritage professionals. The site shows moderate digital maturity with room for growth in privacy compliance and security posture. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The site’s longevity since 2011 indicates stability in its market presence.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, but DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were found. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited security governance transparency. The site should implement recommended HTTP security headers and consider DNSSEC activation. Regular updates and security audits are advised to maintain integrity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incidents.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Divi theme, supported by SEO and donation plugins. Hosting is provided by Seeweb, an Italian hosting provider, consistent with the website’s regional focus. Performance is moderate, with mobile optimization and SEO best practices in place. The site uses external resources such as Google Fonts and Sendinblue for marketing automation. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers represents a technical risk. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but requires enhancements in security and privacy.
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.
