Risk levelMedium

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

TAV Academy is a division of the established TAV Group, focused on providing professional training and education in audiovisual technologies including photo, video, audio, and security. The website positions itself as a key player in the Italian audiovisual market, offering courses, workshops, masterclasses, and events to professionals, students, and enthusiasts. The business model centers on education and community engagement with a strong emphasis on technology and innovation. Technically, the website is built using Canva's platform with modern web standards, providing a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy via Iubenda, though cookie consent mechanisms are absent. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its business objectives.

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.

  1. 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • 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

The TAV Group has a long-standing presence since 1987 in the audiovisual sector, with TAV Academy as a recent initiative to expand into education and training. The company leverages its existing brand reputation and partnerships with international brands to offer high-quality training services. The target market includes professionals seeking technical and creative skill development, companies looking for technology updates, and enthusiasts. The presence of related domains for media and security divisions indicates a diversified business ecosystem. The business model is service-oriented with revenue likely generated from course fees, events, and workshops. Growth potential is supported by the increasing demand for audiovisual skills and digital content production.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain status flags to prevent unauthorized transfers or updates, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security maturity. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Privacy compliance is supported by a detailed privacy policy, but cookie consent is missing, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement while maintaining compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Canva platform, utilizing modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It uses Iubenda for privacy policy management, indicating a focus on compliance. The site is mobile optimized and has a professional design with clear navigation. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the platform and external scripts. No CMS like WordPress or Joomla detected. Hosting provider is not explicitly stated but domain registrar is Tucows Domains Inc. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features but meets basic standards. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to 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.
