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.
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header
Forces HTTPS connections

This scan found 23 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The organization operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, focusing on pharmaceutical education and international cooperation. Its business model relies on donations and partnerships with academic and professional institutions. The presence of patronage from the University of Torino and pharmacist orders enhances credibility and trust. The website content and structure support donor engagement and transparency. The organization appears small-sized but well-positioned within its niche, with a history dating back to at least 2008. The lack of terms of service and security policy pages suggests room for improvement in formalizing governance documentation.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of nonce tokens in AJAX calls for donation forms indicates attention to secure input handling. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact channels limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by formal documentation and incident response readiness.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Improve accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster transparency.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS using modern plugins including GiveWP for donation management. It leverages external resources such as Google Fonts, Google Maps API, FontAwesome, and Swiper.js for UI components. The site shows moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is standard for non-profit organizations, balancing functionality and ease of maintenance. Opportunities exist to enhance performance and accessibility further, and to document technical and security policies more explicitly.
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.
