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

Nuova Accademia delle Belle Arti (NABA) is a well-established Italian educational institution specializing in arts, design, fashion, media, and graphic design courses. The website reflects a strong market position as one of Italy's top academies, recognized internationally in the QS World University Rankings® for Art & Design. The institution offers a comprehensive range of academic programs including undergraduate, postgraduate, academic masters, PhD, and special programs, targeting students interested in creative disciplines. The business model focuses on delivering high-quality education and fostering industry partnerships and alumni engagement. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Swiper.js, Moment.js, Google reCAPTCHA v3, and a consent management platform (Usercentrics). The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a custom CMS backend. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and anti-bot measures in place, though explicit security headers and a published security policy are absent. From a security and compliance perspective, the site lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, which impacts privacy compliance scoring. Contact information is available primarily via phone and contact forms, with no direct company emails found. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's claims, indicating legitimacy and appropriate domain registration. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its educational mission, but could benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security documentation to improve compliance and user trust.

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

3 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 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 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

  3. 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

NABA holds a strong position in the higher education sector for arts and design in Italy and internationally. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive course offerings, international accreditations, and strong industry and alumni networks. The business model is centered on academic excellence and student services, with revenue streams likely from tuition fees, special programs, and partnerships. The target customer segment includes domestic and international students seeking creative arts education. Growth indicators include multilingual site presence and international relations sections. The partnership ecosystem includes dedicated admissions and alumni platforms, enhancing student lifecycle engagement. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital services and improve transparency in privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. The use of a consent management platform indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers, published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated but not fully documented. The security culture appears focused on user experience and privacy consent but could be strengthened by formalizing security governance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy including incident response contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  3. Add standard security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a robust security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js for UI components, and Moment.js for date handling. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for bot protection, and Usercentrics CMP manages cookie consent, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical infrastructure appears stable but could benefit from additional security hardening and documentation. Hosting provider details were not identified from the content. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but has room for modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
