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

The Consiglio Italiano Movimento Europeo is a well-established Italian non-profit organization dedicated to promoting European unity and democratic integration since 1948. The website serves as an information hub, providing news, event calendars, thematic documents, and advocacy resources targeted at Italian citizens and organizations interested in European affairs. The organization maintains an active presence on major social media platforms and offers newsletters and petitions to engage its audience. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix3 template framework, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. It is secured with HTTPS and DNSSEC, and includes cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site employs standard best practices like HTTPS and DNSSEC but lacks advanced headers such as Content Security Policy and a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and consistency with the organization's identity. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence for a non-profit advocacy group, with room for improvement in security policies and accessibility to enhance user 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

9 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 CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • 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

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 organization occupies a significant position in the Italian European advocacy landscape, leveraging a network of member organizations and partnerships with European and civic forums. Its business model focuses on mobilizing citizens, disseminating information, and coordinating political advocacy efforts. Revenue streams likely include donations (evidenced by PayPal donation form), event sponsorships, and membership fees. The target audience includes politically engaged citizens, academics, and policymakers interested in European integration. The partnership ecosystem includes European Movement International and other civic organizations, enhancing its influence and reach. Strategically, the organization benefits from a long history and established brand but should continue to modernize its digital infrastructure and security posture to maintain credibility and expand engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of Content Security Policy headers and security.txt files indicates gaps in defense-in-depth and vulnerability disclosure readiness. The login form is standard but could benefit from multi-factor authentication. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with modern security headers and formal incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  2. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and user inclusivity.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all extensions to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider implementing multi-factor authentication for user login to strengthen access control.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with the Helix3 template, leveraging jQuery and Font Awesome for UI components. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for typography and analytics respectively. The site is mobile responsive and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, with some external scripts loaded asynchronously. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented via JavaScript and cookies. The site lacks advanced security headers and modern frontend frameworks but maintains a stable and functional technical infrastructure suitable for its non-profit advocacy purpose.
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.
