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. 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      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

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

Econova operates in the energy sector with a focus on recycling and biofuel. Their business model revolves around transforming waste and residual materials into valuable resources, supporting circular economy initiatives. The company offers a range of services including wood fuel supply, recycling, entrepreneurial services, consulting, and raw materials for soil manufacturing. Their target customers include commercial clients and private consumers. The company maintains a LinkedIn presence and publishes reference cases and articles to showcase expertise and build trust. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm a long-standing presence, reinforcing market credibility. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website data. The company appears to be medium-sized with a clear focus on sustainability and innovation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for security enhancement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could limit transparency in handling security events. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces third-party scripts, which should be regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is moderate, with foundational protections in place but lacking advanced security controls and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Develop and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and ensure they are up to date.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Avada theme, leveraging jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, indicating GDPR awareness. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security posture. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
