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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 website operates within the media sector, specifically targeting the food and beverage industry. It benefits from a focused content strategy and a network of related community sites under the LC Publishing Group umbrella, enhancing its market positioning. The absence of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a content-first approach rather than direct sales or customer service. The partnership ecosystem includes several sister sites in legal and finance sectors, indicating a diversified publishing group. Growth indicators include active social media channels and regular content updates. Revenue streams likely include advertising, sponsored content, and event promotions.

Security posture

Foodcommunity.it exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. The presence of a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, enhancing user privacy. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in mitigating common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analyzed content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, HSTS) to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve incident response transparency.
  3. Add a clearly accessible terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Consider publishing contact information or a dedicated security contact email to enhance trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Cookie consent is managed by CookieYes, providing granular user control. The site uses Google Fonts and FontAwesome icons for styling. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations such as caching and minification. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
