Partial score · DNS & email only

75/100

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

APEG - Associação Portuguesa de Empresas de Gás is a non-profit scientific, technical, and professional association representing twenty-six companies in the Portuguese natural gas sector. The website serves as an information hub for industry stakeholders, providing news, events, and resources related to natural gas and renewable gases. The organization holds a solid market position within Portugal's energy sector, focusing on advocacy and sector development. Technically, the website employs AngularJS and jQuery with Google Analytics and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks visible advanced security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which could pose minor risks. Overall, the site is professional, compliant with GDPR, and trustworthy, with room for security enhancements.

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

1 finding 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 association targets companies and professionals in the Portuguese gas industry, operating as a sectoral non-profit entity. Its business model revolves around membership services, advocacy, and information dissemination. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on transparency and sector engagement, with partnerships implied through LinkedIn presence and Cookiebot integration. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and event sponsorships. The organization maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting its role as a key industry player in Portugal.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and GDPR-compliant cookie consent via Cookiebot. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. The use of an older jQuery version (1.9.1) is a potential vulnerability vector. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating an area for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses AngularJS (an older framework) and jQuery 1.9.1, which may indicate some technical debt. Google Analytics and Cookiebot are integrated for analytics and consent management, reflecting compliance and user tracking capabilities. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and uses RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML source. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
