Fondazione FIRMO · Healthcare · Italy

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Fondazione FIRMO is a specialized non-profit organization dedicated to research, awareness, and support related to bone diseases, primarily operating in Italy. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, targeting patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, and donors. It offers key services including research funding, patient education, events, and publications. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and slider plugins, delivering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises legitimacy concerns, though the active content and social media presence support its authenticity. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance documentation.

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

2 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 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 Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 occupies a niche healthcare segment focusing on bone disease research and patient support. Its business model is non-profit, relying on donations and partnerships with related organizations. The website's content and navigation reflect a clear market positioning with strong community engagement through events and publications. Partnerships with other Italian associations are evident, enhancing its ecosystem. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information online suggests a small organizational size. The foundation's digital presence is mature but could improve transparency and compliance to strengthen donor trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses accessibility attributes to improve user experience. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency in security management. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to resolve legitimacy concerns.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Yoast SEO and MetaSlider plugins, indicating a standard modern web infrastructure. It loads external resources from trusted CDNs and Google Fonts, supporting performance and design consistency. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource minification. No advanced frameworks or custom platforms were detected. The lack of visible analytics or tracking tools suggests minimal data collection. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
