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

SPAZIO is a small architecture gallery and bookstore based in Milan, Italy, serving as an independent platform for critical reflection and discussion on architecture, urban design, and related spatial disciplines. The website showcases a rich archive of exhibitions and cultural events dating back to 2017, positioning itself as a niche cultural institution with a focus on thoughtful engagement and storytelling. Technically, the site is built on the Cargo Collective platform, utilizing modern web fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics, with good mobile optimization and a professional design. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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

9 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 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"

    • 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. 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

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

SPAZIO operates in the cultural and real estate sector, focusing on architecture and spatial practices. Its business model revolves around gallery exhibitions, a bookstore, and an independent platform for cultural discourse. The target audience includes architecture professionals, academics, and cultural enthusiasts. The website's detailed archive and active social media presence indicate a well-established niche position with ongoing engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for indirect contact via social media or physical visits. The use of Mailchimp for newsletter subscriptions indicates a marketing strategy aimed at community building. The domain registration and hosting are consistent with the business profile, supporting legitimacy and operational transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain status flags that protect against unauthorized transfers and updates, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security reduce the overall security posture. No forms with sensitive data collection were detected, minimizing attack surface. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, which requires careful configuration to avoid privacy issues. The site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a company email address for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Cargo Collective, a platform tailored for creative portfolios and galleries, which provides a modern and responsive design framework. The site uses custom web fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics tracking. Performance is moderate with no obvious issues, and mobile optimization is good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph tags for social media sharing. Accessibility is basic but present. No CMS other than Cargo Collective is detected. The domain is registered with Tucows Domains Inc. without privacy protection, consistent with the business profile. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. No forms or input fields are present except for an external newsletter subscription link. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small cultural platform but could benefit from enhanced security configurations.
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.
