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. 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

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 operates in the renewable energy sector with a focus on wind and solar power technologies. It is part of the larger EDF group, indicating strong parent company backing. The business model centers on project development and operation, targeting stakeholders, communities, and energy markets in Australia. The website content and structure suggest a mature digital presence with ongoing news updates and project information. Partnerships with related EDF domains reinforce market positioning. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication approach, likely via contact forms. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce features are present, consistent with a B2B and project-based business.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communications. Forms include validation to secure data input. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could limit transparency in security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, potentially exposing the company to regulatory risks. No suspicious or malicious indicators were found. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen security posture.
  3. Add a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection officer to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a combination of modern JavaScript libraries and plugins such as jQuery, Modernizr, Slick Slider, AOS, and AmCharts for interactive content. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, indicating good meta tag and structured data usage. The site loads media-rich content including videos and SVG graphics, which may impact performance but is balanced with modern optimization techniques. Mobile responsiveness is good, and navigation is clear. Hosting provider details are not explicit. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user experience.
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.
