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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

Casa Energie operates as a regional government agency providing energy-related services and information to a defined geographic area. Its business model is public service oriented, focusing on facilitating energy transition through education, support, and coordination. The website's market position is that of a trusted regional authority, with partnerships linking to other government and regional development sites. The target audience includes local municipalities, social housing providers, businesses, and residents. The site’s content and structure reflect a focus on transparency and compliance, with GDPR-aligned privacy practices and cookie consent mechanisms. The lack of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a centralized contact approach likely handled via the parent regional site. The presence of multiple partner domains indicates a collaborative ecosystem supporting regional sustainability goals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Matomo analytics configured to respect Do Not Track signals, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Cookie consent is implemented via tarteaucitron.js, providing users control over third-party cookies. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site lacks publicly available incident response or security policy pages, which could improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and published security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  3. Enhance SEO metadata completeness, including descriptions and keywords, to improve search engine visibility.
  4. Add clear contact information and terms of service pages to increase user trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and secure content management system, hosted by OVH, a reputable provider. It uses jQuery 3.3.1 and integrates Matomo for analytics, configured with privacy in mind. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism via tarteaucitron.js and supports multilingual content via Google Translate. Performance is moderate, with responsive design and accessibility features implemented. Some technical debt is noted in incomplete meta tags and missing security headers. The site architecture supports clear navigation and user experience, but could be optimized further for SEO and security best practices.
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.
