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

8.2 Group e.V. is a German-based expert organization specializing in consulting, technical inspections, certifications, and expert reports for renewable energy installations including wind, photovoltaic, energy storage, and green hydrogen technologies. With over 30 years of experience and a global presence, they serve operators of renewable energy assets to ensure safe and economical operation. The website is professionally designed using modern web technologies such as Webflow CMS, Google reCAPTCHA, and Plausible Analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, though explicit security headers and published security policies are absent. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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.

    • 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

    • 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 positions itself as an essential player in the renewable energy sector, targeting asset operators requiring independent technical expertise. Their business model revolves around consulting and certification services, supported by technical inspections and expert reports. The presence of client testimonials and accreditations in news articles enhances their market credibility. The website supports multiple languages and links to a French partner site, indicating a pan-European reach. The use of Webflow CMS and modern analytics tools suggests a focus on efficient digital marketing and customer engagement. However, the lack of explicit contact details and privacy compliance documents may limit trust for some users.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, which are good security practices. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response information, and no dedicated security contact channels were found. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adding security headers and transparency around security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with a consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan with clear contact channels for security issues.
  4. Include clear and verified contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and user support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerable or privacy-invasive components are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Splide.js for carousels and Finsweet attributes for UI enhancements. It uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection and Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast load times and good performance. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with accessibility features such as focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained technical infrastructure.
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.
