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

Fincantieri S.p.A. is a leading global shipbuilding group headquartered in Italy, specializing in the design, construction, and repair of a wide range of vessels including cruise ships, naval vessels, ferries, mega yachts, and offshore platforms. The company holds a strong market position as one of the largest diversified shipbuilders worldwide, supported by numerous subsidiaries and a comprehensive investor relations program. The website reflects a mature enterprise with extensive content targeting investors, partners, suppliers, and customers in the maritime and defense sectors. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Maps API, and Akamai CDN for content delivery, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and professional design, although accessibility features could be enhanced. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes some security headers, but lacks explicit Content-Security-Policy and other advanced headers. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and visible contact information for security or incident response are notable gaps. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence for a large enterprise, though improvements in privacy compliance and security header implementation are recommended. The missing WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the site's credibility given the extensive corporate disclosures and investor information available.

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. 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';…

  2. 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

Fincantieri operates in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, focusing on shipbuilding and naval defense. Its business model revolves around diversified ship construction, repair, and after-sales services, supported by a broad network of subsidiaries globally. The company targets institutional investors, maritime industry partners, and government defense agencies. Its competitive advantages include scale, diversification, innovation, and a strong governance framework. The presence of detailed investor relations content and sustainability initiatives indicates a mature growth strategy and commitment to ESG principles. Partnerships with global platforms and active social media engagement enhance its market visibility and stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and use of a reputable CDN provider (Akamai). Security headers are partially implemented, but the absence of a Content-Security-Policy and other headers like X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No signs of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. The lack of explicit incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates a potential gap in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is generally good, but the missing cookie consent mechanism may expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add and enforce Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security against XSS and MIME sniffing attacks.
  3. Publish clear incident response and security contact information, including a security.txt file or dedicated security page.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Improve WHOIS transparency or provide official domain registration details to increase trust and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with integration of Google Maps API and Akamai CDN for performance optimization. The use of slick carousel indicates reliance on jQuery or similar libraries. The site is mobile responsive with adaptive images and navigation menus. SEO is supported by canonical links, hreflang tags, and Open Graph metadata. No CMS or backend platform was explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and minimal blocking resources. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended to modernize the infrastructure and reduce risks.
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.
