The website reflects a mature digital presence with rich content, including events, exhibitions, and educational programs targeting a broad audience, especially elderly and former employees. The foundation leverages structured data and modern analytics tools to enhance user engagement and compliance. Technically, the site uses a mix of legacy and modern technologies, with room for updating some libraries to improve security.

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.

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 foundation operates in the non-profit sector with a focus on social responsibility and cultural promotion. It benefits from the strong brand and resources of the Ferrero Group, enhancing its market position and trustworthiness. The business model centers on community support and cultural enrichment rather than commercial activities. The website supports this with detailed event calendars, publications, and educational content. Partnerships and related domains indicate a cohesive ecosystem around Ferrero's corporate social responsibility efforts. The foundation's longevity and domain registration history reinforce its credibility and stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and secure cookies are used in analytics scripts. However, the presence of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.9.1 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and a security.txt file indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, which could be improved. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade outdated JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported versions to reduce security risks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Implement additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for compliance and security.
  5. Consider adding explicit terms of service and incident response contact information to strengthen legal and security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with Bootstrap framework and various JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.9.1 and Modernizr 2.6.2. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Piwik PRO for analytics and tracking, with cookie consent mechanisms in place. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements by updating legacy scripts and optimizing assets. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for news articles. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. Hosting details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but shows signs of aging in some components.
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.
