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. 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

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

FIAF occupies a strong position in the Italian photography non-profit sector, leveraging its long history and extensive network of clubs and members. Its business model focuses on cultural promotion and member services rather than commercial profit. The federation benefits from partnerships with related organizations and dedicated domains for membership and events. The website's content and structure support its mission, targeting photography enthusiasts, clubs, and cultural institutions. Growth indicators include active event calendars, educational offerings, and a vibrant social media presence. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including official shops, press sites, and festival collaborations, enhancing FIAF's reach and influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. The absence of explicit Content Security Policy headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for compliance and security improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses nonce tokens for REST API calls, indicating some attention to secure data handling. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible from the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using the Jannah theme and multiple plugins for SEO (Rank Math), social media integration (WP Social), form handling (Contact Form 7), and content display (PDF.js Viewer, 3D Flipbook). It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The hosting provider is Register SPA, as indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site is well-maintained with recent content updates and a clear navigation structure. Technical risks include the lack of DNSSEC and CSP, which should be addressed to improve security posture.
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.
