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
5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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
Unable to retrieve SSL certificate
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured
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"
This scan found 23 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The foundation holds a strong market position as a regional non-profit entity with a history dating back to 2000. Its business model revolves around grant funding and supporting cultural and social initiatives, targeting community organizations and individuals in South Tyrol. The website's partnership ecosystem includes links to respected local and regional institutions, enhancing its credibility. Revenue streams likely derive from endowments and financial assets managed by the foundation. The organization's digital presence supports its mission by providing accessible information and media resources. Growth indicators include active event promotion and media content updates. Strategic observations suggest maintaining and enhancing digital security and expanding transparency around security and incident response could further strengthen stakeholder confidence.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, which are strong foundational security measures. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or security policy information is available, which may impact readiness and transparency. The use of third-party libraries like Video.js and SweetAlert2 requires ongoing vulnerability management. There are no visible signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.
Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using a custom or proprietary CMS with extensive use of JavaScript libraries such as Video.js for media playback, SweetAlert2 for alerts, Fine Uploader for file uploads, and DHTMLX components for UI elements. The presence of smart UI components indicates a tailored user interface. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic, with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. The technical infrastructure supports the foundation's needs but could be modernized with enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security features to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
