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

2050 Materials is a specialized platform focused on providing sustainability data for building materials, enabling architects, specifiers, and manufacturers to make informed, data-driven decisions to promote sustainable construction. The company operates a SaaS model offering product data, APIs, and reporting tools, positioning itself as a niche leader in the green building sector with strong industry partnerships. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in relevant content, reflecting a mature digital presence for a company founded in 2021 and based in Cyprus. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and hCaptcha for analytics and security respectively. Security posture is good with HTTPS and domain locking, though improvements can be made by adding security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is limited by the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and well-positioned in its market niche.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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';…

  3. 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

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 company targets the architecture, engineering, and construction industries, focusing on sustainability and embodied carbon data. Its business model includes data platform subscriptions, product listings for manufacturers, and API services for internal tools. The presence of notable partners such as Autodesk and Mott MacDonald enhances credibility and market reach. The company demonstrates growth potential through its partnerships and advisory board. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and mission, aiding customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses hCaptcha to protect forms from spam. Domain registration is secured with multiple client prohibitions. However, the lack of security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response plans indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with no visible cookie consent mechanisms or privacy policy pages, which could pose compliance risks under GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain security.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, leveraging PHP and JavaScript with jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. Google Analytics is integrated via MonsterInsights plugin, and hCaptcha is used for form spam protection. The site is hosted likely via GoDaddy given the registrar and nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and privacy compliance need attention to reduce risks and improve trust.
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.
