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

Occhio ai media is a non-profit organization affiliated with Associazione Cittadini del Mondo Ferrara, focusing on media monitoring, social justice, and immigrant rights advocacy in Italy. The website provides news, reports, videos, and projects related to anti-racism and social inclusion. It targets the Italian public interested in social issues and community activism. The organization operates through awareness campaigns, media content, and community projects, positioning itself as a niche player in the non-profit social justice sector. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with the Yootheme template and UIkit framework, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and cookie consent plugins. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. It uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, although some security headers are missing. Cookie consent is implemented with an opt-in mechanism, indicating good privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent blocking session cookies until consent. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide visible security or incident response policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is common for non-profits and does not raise immediate concerns. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations. Strategic improvements could include adding security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to enhance security posture and 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

5 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

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

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 organization operates in the non-profit sector with a focus on social justice and media monitoring in Italy. It leverages partnerships with Associazione Cittadini del Mondo Ferrara and related donation platforms. The business model centers on advocacy, awareness, and community engagement rather than commercial revenue. The website content and social media presence indicate active community involvement and a clear target audience of socially conscious Italian citizens. Growth indicators include regular news updates, reports, and multimedia content. The partnership ecosystem is focused on aligned non-profit entities. The organization maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting its mission effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR opt-in requirements, blocking session cookies until consent is given. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be improved with additional controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance cookie consent details with explicit links to privacy and cookie policies for better user awareness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with a Yootheme template and UIkit framework, supported by jQuery and modern JavaScript modules. The site is responsive and accessible, with good SEO meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Cookie consent is managed by a GDPR-compliant plugin with an opt-in approach. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could benefit from improved security headers and enhanced analytics integration for better monitoring.
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.
