With a substantial portfolio of 25GW under evaluation and active operations across eight European countries, the company is positioned as a leader in the renewable energy sector. The business operates as a portfolio company under Macquarie Asset Management, emphasizing a commitment to delivering clean, reliable, and cost-effective renewable energy solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting stakeholders in the European energy market and communities benefiting from sustainable energy projects.
Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, with integrations such as Google Analytics and TranslatePress for multilingual support. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and moderate performance. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and domain locking, though DNSSEC is not enabled. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance.
From a security perspective, the site maintains a good posture with no critical vulnerabilities detected. However, there is room for improvement by enabling DNSSEC, publishing explicit security policies, and providing incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance transparency and trust.
Overall, Cero Generation's website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence aligned with its business objectives. Strategic recommendations include enhancing domain security with DNSSEC, formalizing security and incident response documentation, and expanding transparency around vulnerability disclosures to further strengthen security and compliance posture.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Cero Generation holds a strong market position as a leading solar energy developer in Europe, backed by Macquarie Asset Management. Its business model focuses on the full lifecycle of solar and battery storage projects, from development to operation. The company targets institutional investors, energy market participants, and communities seeking sustainable energy solutions. Growth indicators include a large project portfolio and recent financial closings. The partnership ecosystem includes career platforms and industry newsrooms, supporting recruitment and communication. The company’s strategic focus on net-zero energy aligns with broader European energy transition goals, positioning it competitively in the renewable energy sector.
Security posture
The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain modifications. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security policies or incident response contacts suggests areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and forms appear secure with no visible injection points. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced domain security.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain GDPR compliance and transparency.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and TranslatePress for multilingual support. The site uses standard JavaScript libraries including jQuery and various Elementor scripts. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. Hosting and DNS are managed via 123-Reg Limited and domaincontrol.com respectively. The site could improve by enabling DNSSEC and optimizing accessibility features further. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
