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

Ilmeteo.net is a professional weather forecasting website primarily serving Italy with extended international reach through the Meteored network. It offers detailed 14-day weather forecasts, news, videos, radar, and interactive maps. The site supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Huawei, and Windows apps, indicating a mature digital presence. The business model is advertising-supported, with integrated ad networks and tracking technologies. The website is well-branded, consistent, and provides comprehensive privacy and cookie policies compliant with GDPR. However, WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given its professional presentation and content richness.

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

5 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 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';…
  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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Ilmeteo.net holds a strong position in the Italian weather media sector, leveraging a broad network of partner sites internationally. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive weather data, multi-platform availability, and a user-friendly interface. Revenue streams are primarily from advertising and possibly app monetization. The target audience is general public users seeking reliable weather information. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple international Meteored branded sites, enhancing market reach. The company demonstrates growth potential through digital channels and mobile applications.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a Consent Management Platform for GDPR compliance, reflecting good security and privacy practices. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced HTTP header configurations and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved trust and communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ad networks to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, including Leaflet.js for interactive maps and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Header bidding via Prebid.js is implemented for advertising optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and supports multiple app platforms. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified from the HTML content.
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.
