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

Liberainformazione.org is a non-profit electronic newspaper dedicated to providing information and advocacy focused on legality and anti-mafia efforts in Italy. It operates under the auspices of Libera, a well-known Italian association against organized crime. The website offers news articles, dossiers, and special reports targeting an Italian audience interested in social justice, legal matters, and anti-mafia activism. The organization is medium-sized and founded around 2020, with a clear editorial leadership and a mission to inform and engage the public on these critical issues. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a suite of plugins for SEO, search functionality, and social media integration. It uses HTTPS and common web technologies such as jQuery and Facebook SDK. The site demonstrates moderate performance and basic mobile optimization, with good SEO practices implemented. Accessibility features are basic but present. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible advanced security headers, which could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a privacy policy page. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is missing or malformed, which reduces trust from a domain registration standpoint but does not necessarily indicate malicious intent. Overall, Liberainformazione.org presents a trustworthy, content-rich platform serving a niche non-profit sector. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, improving mobile responsiveness, and publishing explicit security and incident response policies to strengthen trust and 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. 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Liberainformazione.org holds a strong position within the Italian non-profit media sector focused on anti-mafia and legality issues. Its affiliation with Libera association provides credibility and a network of partnerships. The business model revolves around information dissemination, advocacy, and community engagement rather than commercial revenue. The target audience includes activists, legal professionals, journalists, and the general public interested in social justice. The site maintains a consistent brand and professional content quality, supporting its role as a trusted information source. Partnerships with related organizations and media outlets enhance its reach and influence. Growth indicators include regular content updates and active social media presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. The malformed WHOIS data is a concern for domain trust but may be due to technical or privacy reasons. Overall, the site is secure enough for its informational purpose but should enhance security controls and transparency to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to patch known vulnerabilities.
  3. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data issues to improve domain registration trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 5.6.16 with a variety of plugins for SEO (Yoast), search (Google Custom Search), social media integration (Facebook SDK, Twitter widgets), and content management (Super RSS Reader, Cookie Notice). The site uses jQuery and jQuery UI libraries and loads resources from reputable CDNs. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The site is not fully mobile optimized but has a clear navigation structure and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. No advanced frameworks beyond WordPress and standard JS libraries are detected.
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.
