Risk levelMedium

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

Register SpA operates the website pec.net, providing certified email (Posta Elettronica Certificata) services primarily targeting Italian individuals and businesses. The site offers access to PEC webmail and digital registered mail services, integrating with the Italian SPID digital identity system for authentication. The company is positioned as an established provider in the Italian technology sector, focusing on secure and certified digital communications. Technically, the website uses a traditional frontend stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Material Design components, hosted under the register.it infrastructure. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 3.4 seconds and a moderate number of resources. However, the security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS support, exposing users to potential risks. The site implements SPF for email security but lacks DMARC and other advanced email protections. Cookie consent is implemented inline, and privacy policy is linked externally, indicating basic compliance with GDPR. Overall, the site requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration and security headers to enhance trust and protect user data.

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Register SpA leverages its strong brand presence in Italy to offer PEC services, a mandatory certified email system for legal and official communications in Italy. The business model centers on subscription-based access to PEC mailboxes and related digital communication tools. The integration with SPID reflects alignment with national digital identity initiatives, enhancing user convenience and compliance. The company promotes additional services such as WordPress hosting, indicating diversification. Market positioning is solid within the Italian technology sector, with a focus on secure communications. The lack of visible contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on self-service and digital channels. The partnership with register.it as hosting and domain provider strengthens operational reliability.

Security posture

The current security posture of pec.net is suboptimal. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and support for modern TLS protocols is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The lack of HSTS and DMARC records further weakens the security framework. While SPF is correctly configured, the absence of DMARC and DKIM reduces email authenticity guarantees. No security headers are detected, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are publicly available. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance, but overall security best practices are not fully adopted. This exposes the business to reputational risk and potential regulatory non-compliance under GDPR and NIS2 directives.

Recommendations

  1. Deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to enable HTTPS and protect user data in transit.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable legacy protocols.
  3. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  4. Publish DMARC and DKIM records to improve email security and reduce phishing risks.
  5. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  6. Create and publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response.
  7. Enhance privacy and cookie policies with clear user options and data retention disclosures.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a classic frontend stack using Bootstrap 3.3.6, jQuery 1.11.3, and Font Awesome 4.5.0, supplemented by Material Design CSS and JS components. It integrates SPID login functionality via a dedicated JavaScript library, indicating compliance with Italian digital identity standards. Hosting is managed by register.it, as evidenced by DNS nameservers. Performance is moderate with a page size of approximately 69KB and 40 resource requests, resulting in a load time of 3.4 seconds. Mobile optimization appears good based on responsive meta tags and Bootstrap usage. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and modern TLS support is a significant technical debt and security risk. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site. The site uses external CDNs for Bootstrap, jQuery, and Font Awesome, which improves load times but requires trust in third-party providers.
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.
