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

EDF power solutions UK and Ireland is a business focused on delivering clean and renewable energy solutions to combat climate change within the UK and Ireland markets. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image aligned with the energy sector, emphasizing a net zero future powered by clean energy. The technical infrastructure is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform enhanced with React components, Bootstrap styling, and SEO optimization via Yoast plugin. Analytics and cookie consent are managed through Google Tag Manager and OneTrust respectively, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage and cookie consent, but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or security policies. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain naming rules violation introduces uncertainty about domain legitimacy, warranting further verification. Overall, the website is functional, well-designed, and targeted at business stakeholders interested in renewable energy, but improvements in transparency and security documentation are recommended.

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

5 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain:

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention edf-re.uk, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for edf-re.uk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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, targeting UK and Ireland markets with a focus on climate change mitigation and clean energy solutions. The business model appears to be service and project-based within the energy industry, leveraging partnerships with related EDF group domains. The website content and structure suggest a large enterprise with professional branding and SEO efforts. However, the lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies may impact customer trust. The presence of related domains indicates a broader corporate ecosystem. Growth potential is supported by the increasing demand for renewable energy solutions. Strategic partnerships and compliance with evolving regulations will be critical for sustained market position.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and OneTrust introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. The WHOIS data anomaly raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could be a risk factor. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance transparency and compliance.
  2. Add visible security headers to improve protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish contact information including security incident response contacts to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve legitimacy.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and update SSL/TLS configurations to maintain strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with React and Bootstrap frameworks, indicating a modern and flexible technical stack. SEO is enhanced using the Yoast plugin, and analytics are managed via Google Tag Manager. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs and partners, which supports performance and reliability. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The lack of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that should be addressed. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but requires attention to security and compliance details to reduce technical debt and operational risks.
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.
