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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      Domain Expired

      Domain expired 3 days ago

      What to do: Renew domain registration immediately

  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

      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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 foundation holds a solid market position as a key non-profit entity focused on Southern Italy's social development. Its business model revolves around grant-making and community support, targeting non-profit organizations and social projects. The website's integration with partner domains and active social media channels indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The foundation's content strategy, including news, events, and project blogs, supports engagement and transparency. Growth indicators include recent news updates and active project funding. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests reliance on contact forms and social media for communication, which aligns with modern non-profit practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled, presence of key security headers, and use of privacy-compliant analytics. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, allowing explicit withdrawal and per-purpose consent. However, there is no publicly visible security policy or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts is controlled, but regular audits are recommended to maintain security. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively for its non-profit context.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information or abuse reporting channels to improve transparency.
  3. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with best practices and improve user experience for all audiences.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It leverages Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and integrates Google Fonts and Google Maps API for enhanced user experience. Analytics are handled via Matomo, configured to disable cookies for privacy. The site uses Iubenda for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve accessibility and further optimize loading times. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but appear to be standard shared or managed hosting with external analytics cloud services.
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.
