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

The website www.meteoam.it serves as the official meteorological service portal of the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare), under the Ministry of Defense. It provides comprehensive weather forecasts, satellite imagery, meteorological observations, and alerts primarily for Italy but also globally. The site targets a broad audience including the general public, aviation professionals, and government agencies. It holds a strong market position as an authoritative government source for meteorological data in Italy. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, custom web components, and privacy-focused analytics via Matomo. It is hosted on infrastructure likely managed by the Italian Ministry of Defense, ensuring reliability and security. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident in the provided data. There is no visible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure information, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activity were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its government mission. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, and providing contact information for incident response 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

4 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. 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 website represents a government entity providing essential meteorological services, positioning itself as a critical infrastructure component for Italy's defense and civil sectors. Its competitive advantage lies in official status, authoritative data, and integration with national and international meteorological organizations. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on public good rather than commercial revenue. Partnerships with international bodies like WMO, ICAO, and ECMWF enhance credibility and data quality. The site supports growth in digital engagement through apps and multimedia content, indicating modernization efforts. Revenue streams are not commercial but funded by the government. Target customers include aviation, civil protection, and the general public. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving national defense, civil protection, and international meteorological agencies. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining high data integrity, security, and compliance with evolving regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

Security posture

The current security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and privacy-respecting analytics. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates GDPR awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers and published security policies suggests room for maturity improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible, which could hinder timely handling of security events. The lack of exposed sensitive data is positive, and no vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts. Compliance gaps include missing privacy policy and terms of service documents, which are critical for GDPR and user trust. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and providing clear security contact channels. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could be enhanced with formal documentation and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service documents accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file with incident response contacts.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all audiences.
  5. Maintain transparency by providing clear contact information for security and general inquiries to build trust.

It integrates Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking and CookiePro for consent management. The hosting environment appears to be government-managed, ensuring compliance and security. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Technical debt is minimal based on the provided data, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementation. The site architecture is well-structured with clear navigation and consistent branding, supporting a positive user experience.
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.
