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

3 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

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

Rewriters operates in the media sector targeting a general audience interested in culture, arts, and social topics. Its business model combines editorial content, cultural events, and e-commerce sales of cultural products. The platform leverages social media extensively for audience engagement and brand presence. The company appears to be independent without parent or subsidiary companies. Its market position is niche but credible, supported by consistent branding and trust signals such as privacy compliance and structured data. Revenue streams likely include advertising, donations, event sponsorships, and product sales. Partnerships with related domains like shop.rewriters.it and re-world.it enhance its ecosystem.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, DNSSEC enabled, and multiple security headers implemented. Cookie consent is managed via Iubenda with granular controls, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks a publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could improve transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, representing an area for enhancement. Overall, the security risk is low, but formalizing security governance and disclosure practices is recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern and widely supported technology stack including Yoast SEO, GiveWP for donations, and Iubenda for privacy and cookie management. It uses jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements. Advertising and tracking scripts from Google Adsense, Criteo, and others are integrated, which may impact performance but are standard for media sites. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize script loading and caching. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for performance tuning.
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.
