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

Alterra Energy LLC operates a professional website focused on solving plastic pollution through innovative recycling technology branded as Infinitely Renewed Plastics™. The company positions itself as a sustainability leader in the energy sector, offering plastic circularity solutions and operating a showcase plant in Akron, Ohio. The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using the Divi theme and includes advanced technologies such as React and jQuery. While the site is well-designed and content-rich, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance posture. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, but security headers are not evident, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional online presence and certifications like ISCC and OCS. Overall, the website demonstrates good business credibility and technical maturity but requires improvements in privacy compliance and domain registration transparency.

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

9 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 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

    • 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

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

Alterra targets manufacturers, consumers, and sustainability partners interested in plastic recycling and circular economy solutions. Their business model revolves around technology innovation and operational deployment of plastic recycling plants. The company leverages certifications and social media to build trust and market presence. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual and warrants further investigation. The website's content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on environmental impact and energy sector sustainability. The company actively promotes its movement and team recruitment, signaling growth and market engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program is evident. The presence of third-party scripts and analytics tools requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and improving privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Publish a security incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen site security against common web attacks.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with the Divi theme, enhanced by React and jQuery libraries. It integrates Google Analytics via MonsterInsights and employs carousel plugins for UI features. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter Cards. Performance is moderate, with deferred CSS loading and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA attributes and semantic HTML enhancements. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from performance tuning and accessibility improvements.
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.
