Risk levelMedium

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

Base Power Company operates in the energy sector, positioning itself as a significant player with a recent $1 billion Series C funding round and the launch of a manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas. The website targets investors, potential employees, and energy industry stakeholders, showcasing multimedia content and career opportunities. The business model focuses on energy production and infrastructure manufacturing, aiming to build a large-scale power company in the United States. Technically, the website is built on Webflow with integration of PostHog analytics and YouTube embeds, delivering a modern and responsive user experience with good design and navigation. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied but no explicit security headers or policies are present, and no contact or incident response information is provided. The absence of WHOIS data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy or recent registration, but the professional presentation and business signals suggest a legitimate enterprise. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security 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

8 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 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

    • 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

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 is positioned as an emerging leader in the energy sector with substantial recent investment, indicating strong growth potential. The business model leverages manufacturing and energy production capabilities, targeting institutional investors and skilled workforce recruitment. The website's content and investor-focused messaging reflect a strategic emphasis on capital raising and brand building. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data may indicate a new domain registration or privacy protection, which is not uncommon for startups or companies in stealth phases. The company appears to maintain a focused partnership ecosystem, though no explicit partner domains are linked. The use of modern web technologies and analytics tools suggests a digitally mature approach to marketing and user engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No forms or inputs are present that collect sensitive user data, reducing attack surface. The use of third-party scripts like PostHog and YouTube embeds introduces some risk but no known vulnerable libraries are detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance site security.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response channels.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and SEO benefits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies including jQuery and PostHog analytics for user behavior tracking and session recording. Multimedia content such as videos and interactive SVGs are used to engage visitors. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility considerations, though these could be further enhanced. Performance is moderate with CDN usage for static assets. The absence of explicit hosting provider information limits deeper infrastructure analysis. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for improvements in security and compliance-related features.
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.
