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

The website represents the official online presence of the Italian Ministry of Justice, providing authoritative information about the ministry's activities, news, institutional structure, and public services related to the justice system. It targets Italian citizens, legal professionals, and government officials, serving as a key communication channel for justice-related information. The site maintains a consistent and professional brand image aligned with government standards. Technically, the site employs a modern responsive design using Bootstrap Italia, integrates privacy-conscious Matomo analytics, and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The infrastructure appears stable and moderately performant, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent for third-party tracking, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policy pages, incident response contacts, and advanced HTTP security headers, which could be improved to enhance security posture. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations, reflecting its role as a government entity. Strategic improvements in security transparency and incident response readiness are recommended to further strengthen its security and compliance stance.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 Ministry of Justice holds a critical position in the Italian government sector, providing essential justice system services and information. Its business model is public service-oriented, focusing on transparency, communication, and legal administration. The website supports this by offering news, press releases, institutional data, and links to related government portals. The ministry leverages official social media channels to extend outreach and engagement. There is no commercial activity or advertising, emphasizing its non-profit government nature. The site’s content and structure support a broad audience including citizens, legal professionals, and policymakers, reinforcing its authoritative market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. Use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting tracking solutions. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and security.txt file limits transparency and readiness for vulnerability reporting. HTTP security headers beyond HTTPS are not evident, suggesting room for enhancement. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from formalizing security governance and incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Implement and expose a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Add clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap Italia for responsive design and layout, ensuring good mobile and accessibility compliance. The CMS appears custom-built, with structured URL paths and resource management. Matomo analytics is integrated for privacy-focused user tracking. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure or resource loading. Cookie consent is implemented with user preference management. The site lacks advanced HTTP security headers and explicit hosting provider information. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be modernized with enhanced security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
