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

IngenCO2.dk operates the CO2 Neutral Website initiative, providing certification services to website owners who want to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability by offsetting their websites' carbon footprints. The company supports global CO2 reduction projects, including those certified by the Gold Standard, and offers members certificates and icons to display on their websites. The service is well-established with over 32,000 websites certified and partnerships with notable brands such as Hyundai and Vattenfall. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies including Next.js and React. Security measures include HTTPS, security headers, and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA. However, there is room for improvement in privacy compliance, particularly regarding cookie consent mechanisms and explicit security policies. Overall, the business presents a credible and trustworthy profile with strong sustainability credentials.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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

  3. 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 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';…

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 targets businesses and website owners interested in enhancing their sustainability branding and CSR profiles. Its business model revolves around membership fees that fund CO2 offset projects globally. The market position is strong within the niche of green web certification, supported by third-party audits and recognized certifications. The partnership ecosystem includes regional sister sites and well-known brands, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include a large number of certified websites and ongoing project investments. The company operates primarily in the energy sector with a focus on environmental impact mitigation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates areas for enhancement. Compliance with GDPR is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing policies and response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Consider appointing and publishing contact details for a Data Protection Officer to enhance GDPR compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, leveraging server-side rendering for performance and SEO benefits. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with optimized images and lazy loading. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, with no visible technical debt or deprecated libraries. Opportunities exist to enhance privacy compliance and security transparency.
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.
