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

SIT S.p.A. is a well-established Italian manufacturing company specializing in power transmission solutions and components for industrial applications. The company positions itself as a global leader with multiple production centers and subsidiaries worldwide, offering a broad portfolio of products including timing belts, couplings, and servo reducers. The website reflects a professional business presence with detailed product information, certifications, and contact details, targeting industrial clients seeking high-quality power transmission components. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins for SEO, page building, and analytics. However, the site suffers from a critical security deficiency as it lacks HTTPS, exposing visitors to potential data interception risks. Performance is suboptimal with a high load time and large page size, though mobile optimization and SEO practices are reasonably well implemented. Security posture is weak due to the absence of SSL/TLS encryption and missing security headers. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be a concern for compliance and trust. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with visible privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, SIT S.p.A. demonstrates strong business credibility and content quality but must urgently address security shortcomings to protect users and improve trust. Strategic improvements in security infrastructure and performance optimization are recommended to align the digital presence with the company's market leadership.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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.

    • 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

  4. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

SIT S.p.A. operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on power transmission components for industrial machinery. The company leverages a global footprint with multiple production centers and subsidiaries, enabling broad market reach and customer support. Their business model centers on engineering, manufacturing, and distributing specialized mechanical components, supported by certifications such as ISO9001 and RoHS that enhance market trust. The website targets industrial clients and engineers, providing technical tools and CAD resources to facilitate product selection and integration. The presence of corporate videos and detailed product categories indicates a mature marketing approach. Partnerships and subsidiaries support international operations, though no parent company is indicated. The company emphasizes innovation and quality, positioning itself as a leader in its niche with a focus on continuous improvement and customer service.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently poor due to the complete lack of HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability exposing all data transmissions to interception and tampering. No security headers are implemented, and no advanced TLS protocols or cipher suites are supported. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption further weakens the security configuration. No dedicated security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. While the site uses common third-party analytics and marketing tools, there is no indication of secure data handling or compliance beyond basic cookie consent. This exposes the company to risks including data breaches, loss of customer trust, and regulatory non-compliance. Immediate remediation is required to implement SSL/TLS and enhance security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and serve the entire website over HTTPS to secure data in transit.
  2. Configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Optimize website performance by reducing page size and load time to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 4.9.26 with plugins including Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution, indicating a standard CMS-based infrastructure. JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.12.4 are used, along with Google Analytics and Lead Champion for tracking and marketing. The site is multilingual with English and Italian versions. Performance metrics show a slow load time (~21.5 seconds) and a large page size (~1.18 MB) with many resources (127), suggesting optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. The lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a major technical risk. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical stack is conventional but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
