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

STEMA srl is an established Italian consulting company specializing in management consultancy, personnel search and selection, corporate restructuring, human resources development, and training services. Operating since 2000, it serves businesses primarily in Como and the broader Italian market. The company holds official authorization from the Italian Ministry of Labor and is affiliated with reputable industry associations such as Confindustria and RSassores, reinforcing its credibility and market position. Technically, the website employs a moderately modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, and Google Maps API. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, although some technical improvements such as updated libraries and enhanced security headers could be implemented. The use of ezPublish CMS is inferred from HTML comments and structure. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for improved protection. The extensive candidate CV submission form collects sensitive personal data with a mandatory privacy consent checkbox, indicating some GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and functional with a solid business foundation. Strategic enhancements in security posture and transparency around data protection policies would further strengthen its risk profile and compliance stance.

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

6 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 Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

STEMA srl operates in the consulting and human resources sector, targeting businesses requiring management consultancy and personnel recruitment services. Its long domain age and official ministry authorization indicate a stable market presence. The company leverages partnerships with industry associations to enhance credibility. Revenue streams likely derive from consultancy contracts, recruitment fees, and training programs. The website's detailed candidate form suggests a focus on talent acquisition services. Growth opportunities may include digital transformation of services and expanded online presence. The absence of social media links indicates potential for broader marketing outreach. The partnership ecosystem includes Confindustria and RSassores, which may facilitate client acquisition and industry networking.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling practices such as file upload restrictions and mandatory privacy consent. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could expose the site to certain attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version may introduce vulnerabilities. No public incident response or security policies are found, limiting transparency and preparedness. Data protection practices appear partially implemented, but explicit GDPR compliance documentation and a designated Data Protection Officer contact are missing. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Designate and publish Data Protection Officer contact information to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery 1.11.0 for scripting, and Google services for analytics and mapping. The CMS is likely ezPublish based on HTML comments and structure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly set including Open Graph tags for social sharing. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt is indicated by the use of an outdated jQuery version and lack of modern security headers. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business needs but could be modernized to improve security and performance.
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.
