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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

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

Columbus Energy operates in the renewable energy sector, targeting homeowners and businesses seeking energy independence and sustainability. Their competitive advantage lies in offering an integrated ecosystem of energy solutions, including proprietary technology like Columbus Intelligence for smart energy management. The business model combines product sales, installation services, and consulting, supported by EU funding and a strong brand presence. The company’s multilingual approach and sister sites in neighboring countries indicate a regional expansion strategy. Revenue streams likely include equipment sales, installation fees, maintenance services, and financing options. Partnerships with technology providers and marketing platforms enhance their market reach. Growth indicators include active content marketing, calculators for cost estimation, and a visible social media footprint. The company is positioned as a market leader in Poland’s OZE market with ambitions for broader Central European influence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. Use of a consent management platform indicates attention to privacy compliance. Multiple tracking and marketing scripts are present but managed with user consent. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts is a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were observed. The domain’s WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business profile, enhancing trust. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced DNS security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

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.
