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. 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention zadig.it, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for zadig.it right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Zadig holds a strong market position in Italy as a provider of communication and training services in healthcare and scientific domains. Its business model centers on delivering integrated communication, editorial content, and educational projects, often in collaboration with public health institutions and European initiatives. The company targets healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, and public health stakeholders. Its partnership ecosystem includes recognized scientific portals and platforms, enhancing its credibility and reach. The website content and linked domains indicate active engagement in multiple projects and a commitment to quality and independence. Growth indicators include ongoing European projects and a diversified service portfolio. The company maintains a consistent brand image and leverages social media channels to extend its influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of security-conscious plugins like WP Rocket and Complianz GDPR for cookie management. However, there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests an area for improvement. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent mechanism, but the lack of a clear privacy policy page reduces overall compliance confidence. The security score is good but could be enhanced by publishing comprehensive security and privacy documentation and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly linked in the website footer or header.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks followed.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using a child theme of Understrap, integrating Bootstrap for responsive design and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. It uses jQuery 3.6.0 and jQuery Migrate for legacy support. Performance is optimized with WP Rocket caching and lazy loading of scripts. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and social media platforms. Mobile optimization is good with dedicated mobile header and navigation. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, though some legacy scripts like jQuery Migrate could be reviewed for necessity. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and performant user experience.
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.
