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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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
    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 company positions itself as a niche IT service provider with a strong focus on programming and project delivery for web-based solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its decade-long experience and extensive project portfolio. The business model revolves around service provision to advertising agencies and clients requiring third-party project execution. The website's content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise operating primarily in the Italian market with German language support, indicating a regional focus. The lack of social media presence and limited contact channels may constrain broader market reach. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The company maintains compliance with GDPR and cookie regulations, which supports its credibility in the European market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, which protects against common network attacks and domain spoofing. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with privacy regulations. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like cross-site scripting or clickjacking. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of third-party analytics services introduces moderate user tracking, but no sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response contacts.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to improve transparency.
  4. Expand contact information to include phone and physical address to enhance trust and accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with integration of Google Analytics and Matomo for user tracking. The site is mobile responsive and loads with moderate performance. No CMS or specific frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. The domain is secured with HTTPS and DNSSEC, indicating good domain and transport security. However, the absence of advanced security headers and limited accessibility features suggest opportunities for technical modernization. The site’s SEO is basic but functional, with meta tags and language declarations properly set. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from enhancements in security and accessibility.
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.
