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
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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
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"
This scan found 24 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The association occupies a niche in the non-profit sector focused on gender and social issues, leveraging local groups to amplify its impact. Its business model is based on community engagement, donations (including 5x1000 tax donations), and educational events. The presence of social media channels and a newsletter indicates active outreach and communication strategies. The organization is registered officially with Italian authorities, providing transparency and trust. While small in size, it maintains a consistent brand and clear messaging, positioning itself as a credible actor in social activism related to masculinity and patriarchy.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via the Complianz GDPR plugin. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. The site could benefit from explicitly setting additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible security or incident response policy published, which could improve transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but with room for improvement in advanced security controls.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement and explicitly configure HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Consider adding phone contact information for enhanced user trust and support accessibility.

The site uses jQuery and modern CSS for styling and responsiveness. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by The SEO Framework plugin, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and website schema. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified.

Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, supporting a positive user experience and 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.
