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

The website represents the official academic portal of Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope, a well-established public university in Italy founded in 1919. It offers comprehensive educational and research services, targeting students, academic staff, and researchers. The site is built using modern web technologies including Angular and FontAwesome, with integration of Google Translate and Matomo analytics for multilingual support and user tracking. The content is primarily in Italian with options for English, French, and Spanish, and includes academic programs, news, events, and institutional information. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No visible contact emails or phone numbers were found on the main page, and no terms of service or security policy pages were identified, indicating areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. Overall, the site is professional, well-branded, and trustworthy, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization.

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

4 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. 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

Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope holds a strong position in the Italian higher education sector, offering a broad range of academic and postgraduate courses, research initiatives, and student services. Its business model is that of a public university funded and regulated by governmental bodies, focusing on education and research excellence. The university leverages partnerships and international programs such as Erasmus to enhance its offerings. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a focus on accessibility and multilingual support, although direct contact details and detailed policies could be more prominently presented to improve user engagement and trust. The institution's long history and domain age support its credibility and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner indicating GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces domain-level security against DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are best practices to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting transparency in security management. The use of Matomo analytics suggests privacy-conscious tracking, but overall security maturity could be improved by implementing recommended headers, DNSSEC, and clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance visibility of contact information including official emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Angular 13.2.5 framework with FontAwesome 6 icons and integrates Google Translate for multilingual support. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. The site appears to be custom-developed rather than using a common CMS. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The HTML and CSS are valid and SEO meta tags including Open Graph tags are well implemented. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is room for technical improvement in security configurations and performance optimization.
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.
