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

Istituto Italiano della Donazione (IID) is a well-established Italian non-profit organization founded in 2004 that promotes transparency, credibility, and honesty in charitable donations. It certifies non-profit organizations with quality marks to foster donor trust and organizes events such as DonoDay to raise awareness. The website targets donors, non-profit associations, and enterprises interested in safe donation practices. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS with JavaScript, AJAX, and integrates social media SDKs and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO, with good content quality and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy with consistent registration since 2004. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve security and privacy compliance.

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. 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

  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

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

Business profile

IID holds a strong market position in the Italian non-profit sector as a trusted certifier of donation transparency. Its business model revolves around providing quality marks to non-profits and educating donors, supported by partnerships with major foundations and sector organizations. The organization leverages events and informational resources to engage its audience. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and sponsorships. The partnership ecosystem includes notable Italian foundations and sector networks, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include ongoing events and active news updates. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence focused on trust and transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policies are published, limiting transparency on handling security events. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms indicates partial GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but should be enhanced to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with JavaScript-heavy front-end including AJAX and social media SDKs. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, indicating a modern approach to data collection. The site loads multiple external scripts asynchronously, which helps performance. Mobile optimization is basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility compliance.
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.
