Security score

75/100

Risk levelMedium

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

SSE Energy Solutions operates as part of the SSE Group, providing renewable electricity and smart energy management solutions to a broad range of business customers in the UK and Ireland. Their services focus on sustainability and cost reduction through renewable energy sources and technology tools. The website analyzed is a login portal for their Business Energy Intelligence platform, featuring basic content about their offerings but lacking comprehensive public-facing policy documents or contact information. Technically, the site is built on legacy ASP.NET Web Forms technology with jQuery 1.9.1 and Font Awesome for UI elements. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks modern SEO and accessibility features. Security practices include HTTPS usage and ASP.NET form validation, but no explicit security headers or advanced protections are evident. The cookie policy is present but does not provide a full consent mechanism. The security posture is moderate with some risks due to outdated libraries and missing security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and terms of service documents. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and user trust. Overall, the site serves its functional purpose but requires improvements in security, privacy, and user experience to meet modern standards. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, updating libraries, publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, implementing explicit cookie consent, and improving accessibility and SEO to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  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

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

SSE Energy Solutions is positioned as a key player in the renewable energy sector within the UK and Ireland, leveraging the SSE Group's market leadership. Their business model centers on supplying 100% renewable electricity and providing smart energy management tools to businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to large corporations and public entities. The company targets environmentally conscious businesses aiming to reduce carbon footprint and energy costs. Their competitive advantage lies in traceable renewable energy sources and integrated technology solutions. The login portal analyzed is part of their digital ecosystem supporting customer engagement and service delivery. No direct revenue or partnership data is available from the page analyzed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and ASP.NET's built-in form validation mechanisms are used. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.9.1) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is provided, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy policy or GDPR compliance statements. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service documents on the website.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanism to include explicit opt-in/out options compliant with GDPR.
  5. Provide visible contact information for security incidents and data protection officer to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms technology, indicating a legacy platform that may limit modernization efforts. The inclusion of jQuery 1.9.1 suggests outdated client-side libraries that could pose security risks. The site uses Font Awesome for icons and includes basic CSS styling. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques observed. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with room for improvement. SEO optimization is minimal, lacking meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, or structured data. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. The technical stack supports the site's functional login purpose but requires modernization to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
