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

Register SpA operates the website www.pec.net, providing certified email (Posta Elettronica Certificata - PEC) services primarily targeting Italian individuals and businesses. The platform offers webmail access and digital registered mail sending capabilities, integrating with Italy's SPID digital identity system for secure login. The website is professionally designed with a consistent brand presence and good mobile optimization, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain www.pec.net raises concerns about domain legitimacy or possible use of alternate domains or subdomains for official operations. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied and CSRF protections in place, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security policies. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned cookie consent and privacy policy clearly presented. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy from a user perspective but requires improvements in transparency and security hardening.

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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

The business is positioned as an important player in the Italian certified email market, leveraging partnerships with Register SpA and integration with government digital identity services (SPID). The subscription-based model targets both individuals and legal entities requiring certified email for official communications. The company benefits from brand recognition and regulatory compliance but could improve by providing clearer contact information and domain registration transparency. The partnership ecosystem includes Register SpA and the Italian government SPID system, enhancing trust and service integration. Growth potential lies in expanding digital communication services and improving security and compliance visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and CSRF tokens in forms. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are found, limiting transparency. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern, potentially indicating domain registration issues or privacy protection not disclosed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie consent and privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements in header policies, incident response readiness, and domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen client-side security.
  2. Verify and publish domain WHOIS registration details to improve transparency and trustworthiness.
  3. Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.6, jQuery 1.11.3, Font Awesome 4.5.0, and Material Design Lite, indicating a stable but somewhat dated front-end framework. The integration of SPID login button shows compliance with Italian digital identity standards. Performance is moderate with external CDN usage for libraries. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS or hosting provider information is directly detectable. The site could benefit from modernization of libraries and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
