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

Fondazione Giancarlo Siani is a small Italian non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the memory of Giancarlo Siani, a journalist killed by organized crime. The foundation focuses on educational projects, press freedom advocacy, and cultural initiatives such as the Premio Siani award and the 'Favolette' reading project. The website is built on WordPress with a modern theme and includes social media integration and a newsletter subscription form. Technically, the site is well-structured and mobile optimized but lacks some security headers and formal privacy/cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. The domain registration is consistent with the foundation's history, and no blocking or WAF mechanisms interfere with content access. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy image but could improve privacy compliance and security hardening.

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 · found on this site
  • 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 clear mission related to journalism and anti-mafia awareness. Its target audience includes students, educators, journalists, and the general public interested in social justice and press freedom. The business model is donation and project-based, with activities centered on education and cultural promotion. The foundation maintains an active social media presence and engages with schools across Italy. The website content quality and branding are consistent, supporting its credibility and outreach efforts.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks DNSSEC and important HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or security policy pages are present, limiting transparency for security issues. The site uses nonce tokens in scripts, indicating some attention to security. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional measures and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using the Bricks theme and child theme, with Font Awesome and Google Fonts for styling. It uses Splide.js for sliders and Mailchimp for newsletter management. The site is mobile optimized and loads with moderate performance. SEO basics are covered with meta tags and Open Graph tags, but no JSON-LD structured data was found. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly detected. The site does not use advanced analytics or tracking beyond Mailchimp. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
