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

ReferralDirector.com is the online presence of Migastone International Srl's Referral Director Academy, a specialized education platform focused on relational marketing and professional training for becoming certified Referral Directors. The company positions itself as a leader in Italy's marketing relational education sector, offering comprehensive training, webinars, and proprietary software to facilitate business networking and client referrals. The website is rich in multimedia content, testimonials, and detailed GDPR-compliant privacy policies, targeting a broad audience including young professionals, women, and career changers. Technically, the site leverages the Kartra platform, Cloudflare CDN, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. However, a critical security weakness is the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which significantly impacts the site's security posture. Privacy compliance is strong with clear GDPR disclosures and consent mechanisms. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital marketing infrastructure but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 operates in the education sector, specializing in marketing relational training with a unique business model combining live events, online courses, and proprietary software. It targets a niche but growing market of professionals seeking career advancement through networking skills. The company has established partnerships and recognition from reputable media and industry awards, enhancing its market credibility. Revenue streams likely include course fees, software subscriptions, and event participation. The presence of a dedicated team and detailed testimonials indicates a well-structured organization with growth potential. The company is based in San Marino, aligning with the domain registration data, and maintains a consistent brand image across its digital assets.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While the site uses Cloudflare CDN and has some security headers, critical best practices like HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are missing. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. GDPR compliance is well addressed, but the absence of HTTPS undermines overall security and user trust. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating potential gaps in security governance. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is essential to meet industry standards and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols to secure data in transit.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  5. Adopt session resumption techniques such as session tickets or session cache for performance and security.
  6. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  7. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Kartra platform, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons. It integrates multiple third-party services including Cloudflare for CDN, Google Fonts, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Tawk.to for live chat support. The site embeds videos from Vimeo and YouTube to enrich content. Despite a rich content structure and good SEO practices, the site suffers from zero page load time and resource count in the provided data, indicating possible measurement issues or caching effects. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant technical debt and risk. Performance is rated slow, likely due to external resource loading and lack of optimization. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business model well but requires security and performance enhancements.
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.
