NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. 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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

      • CAPEC-142
      • RFC 4033
      • RFC 4035

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

EY operates in multiple sectors including energy, transportation, and finance, providing sustainability and climate change consulting services. The business model is professional services with a focus on ESG advisory. EY's global brand and enterprise scale position it strongly in the market. The website content is targeted at corporate clients and decision-makers interested in sustainability solutions. The use of advanced consent management and analytics tools reflects a sophisticated approach to digital marketing and compliance. The absence of direct contact details on this page suggests centralized contact management likely on dedicated contact pages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent and Adobe Launch for tag management indicates adherence to privacy and security best practices. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Overall, the site is secure but could improve transparency and incident readiness communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page to enhance transparency.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider implementing and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, using modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and VideoJS. Consent management is handled by OneTrust, and Adobe Launch manages analytics and marketing tags. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and optimized CSS. The technical stack is mature and suitable for an enterprise-level consulting firm. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and further optimize performance.
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.
