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

7 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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

Business profile

Xelab operates in the niche market of workplace safety and compliance consulting in Italy, leveraging regulatory frameworks such as the Decreto legislativo 81/2008 and GDPR. Their competitive advantage lies in combining consulting, training, and software solutions tailored to client needs. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees, training course enrollments (both in-person and e-learning), and software licensing or development contracts. The company targets SMEs requiring compliance support, with a focus on sectors like manufacturing, food production, and services. Their partnership with certification bodies and presence on social media enhance credibility and market reach. The company shows steady growth indicators with a solid project portfolio and course delivery volume. The integrated service model and digital platform position Xelab well for continued expansion in the Italian compliance market.

Security posture

Xelab's security posture is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent banners, and avoids exposing sensitive information in the HTML. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could delay handling of security issues. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces some privacy considerations but is managed with consent. Overall, the site shows awareness of security and privacy best practices but could improve by implementing additional HTTP headers, publishing a security.txt file, and formalizing incident response contact points.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by adding a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and data processing activities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern front-end stack using Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and FontAwesome for icons. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tracking. The presence of Owl Carousel and MeanMenu indicates interactive UI components and mobile menu optimization. The backend appears to be custom PHP-based, inferred from .php endpoints. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Accessibility is basic but functional. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for improvements in accessibility and security headers.
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.
