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 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

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

Palumbo group spa holds a strong market position as a leading shipyard group in the Mediterranean region, with a diversified portfolio covering shipbuilding, superyacht construction, refits, and heavy lift operations. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience, multiple strategic locations, and a family-oriented business approach emphasizing client trust and value delivery. Revenue streams likely derive from shipbuilding contracts, refit services, and specialized heavy lift projects. The target customer segments include commercial ship owners, superyacht owners, and maritime service providers. The company maintains partnerships and subsidiaries to cover various maritime service niches, indicating a robust operational ecosystem and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of critical security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like protocol downgrade attacks, clickjacking, and MIME sniffing. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for compliance and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, there is significant room for improvement to meet higher security standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS connections and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks.
  3. Add X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to protect against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service documents to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and incident response contact channels to enhance security transparency and readiness.

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.
