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

NetworkPA, operated by DigitalPA s.r.l, is a specialized platform focused on enabling companies and professionals to engage effectively in the Italian public procurement market. The website offers tools and services to qualify as suppliers for public administrations, analyze public contracts, and discover sales opportunities. Positioned as a niche B2B SaaS and community platform, NetworkPA serves a targeted audience within the government sector in Italy. The company has established a credible market presence since its founding in 2017, supported by consistent branding and active social media channels. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and several plugins, providing multilingual support and e-commerce capabilities. While the site demonstrates good SEO practices and mobile optimization, some underlying software components are outdated, posing potential security risks. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and security headers, but lacks explicit security and incident response policies. Overall, NetworkPA presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with room for technical and security improvements.

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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

NetworkPA operates in the government sector, focusing on public procurement facilitation. Its business model revolves around providing SaaS tools and community engagement for suppliers to public administrations. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus and integration with Italian public contract systems. Revenue streams likely include subscription services and premium features. The target customers are businesses and professionals seeking to expand in public sector contracts. The company maintains partnerships with DigitalPA and leverages social media for brand visibility. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website, multilingual support, and active content updates. Strategic observations suggest enhancing security policies and updating technical infrastructure to sustain market trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and implements several security headers, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the use of outdated WordPress and WooCommerce versions introduces vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The absence of a public security policy and incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness. Data protection practices appear adequate with GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. No exposed sensitive data or suspicious domains were detected. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of explicit information. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires updates and formalization of security governance to mitigate risks and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core, WooCommerce, and all plugins to the latest stable versions to address known vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Implement and publicize incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and continue improving mobile optimization to broaden user reach and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform using the Avada theme and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It integrates multilingual support via WPML and uses several plugins for enhanced user experience, including live chat and request-a-quote features. The tech stack includes jQuery and Slider Revolution for UI components. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site is SEO-optimized using Yoast SEO and includes structured data for better search engine understanding. Technical debt is evident in outdated software versions, which pose security and compatibility risks. Modernization opportunities include updating core software, optimizing scripts, and improving accessibility compliance to reduce technical risks impacting business operations.
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.
