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 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 niche focus on social justice and anti-racial profiling advocacy in Italy. Its business model centers on awareness campaigns and testimony collection rather than commercial activities. The website's partnerships with local organizations enhance its credibility and outreach. The domain age and registration details align with the project's recent establishment in 2023. The absence of advertising and analytics tools suggests a privacy-conscious approach. The target audience includes victims, activists, researchers, and the general public interested in human rights. The site’s content and navigation support engagement and information dissemination effectively.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is implemented with an opt-in mechanism and blocking of session cookies until consent, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement to align with best practices for non-profit organizations handling sensitive social issues.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact page to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update Joomla CMS and third-party extensions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider integrating privacy-friendly analytics to monitor site usage without compromising user privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Yootheme framework and UIkit frontend library, supported by jQuery and webcomponents polyfill for compatibility. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility basics but could improve in SEO and accessibility features. Hosting details are not explicit beyond registrar and DNS providers. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. The site uses a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism with opt-in and revocation capabilities. No advertising or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a small non-profit, though enabling DNSSEC and security headers would enhance security posture.
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.
