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

Secsolution.com is a professional Italian B2B online magazine and information portal focused on security, cybersecurity, privacy, and related technologies. Operated by Ethos Media Group srl, it serves security professionals in Italy by providing news, articles, podcasts, training opportunities, and event promotion such as the Secsolution Forum. The website demonstrates a solid market position as a leading security information source in Italy with a consistent brand and quality content. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Analytics, with responsive design and good SEO practices. However, some security best practices such as HTTP security headers are missing, and the WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-compliant cookie consent and a privacy policy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and domain registration transparency.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Ethos Media Group operates Secsolution.com as a specialized media outlet targeting security professionals in Italy. The business model revolves around content publishing, training, event organization, and an online store for security publications. The company leverages partnerships with training providers and event organizers to expand its ecosystem. The website's content and services indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a strong foothold in the Italian security media sector. The presence of multiple social media channels and integration with training platforms suggests a diversified approach to audience engagement and revenue streams. The lack of visible domain registration data is a notable anomaly but does not currently impact the site's operational credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which could limit the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces moderate tracking but is managed with user consent. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security.
  2. Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap framework, and jQuery, ensuring responsive and modern design. Google Fonts and FontAwesome are used for typography and icons, respectively. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis with user consent. The site loads external resources from reputable domains and uses a canonical URL for SEO. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional website but has room for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
