EDF Renewables North America operates as a market-leading independent power producer and service provider specializing in renewable energy solutions including wind (onshore and offshore), solar photovoltaic, energy storage, and electric vehicle charging across North America. The company positions itself as a sustainable energy partner, targeting businesses and communities seeking clean energy solutions. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, multi-language support, and active engagement through social media channels. The business is a subsidiary of the EDF Group, a major global energy player, reinforcing its market credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Yoast SEO, ensuring good SEO and user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a moderate performance profile. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place; however, explicit security headers and incident response information are absent, representing areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, indicating possible privacy protection or proxy registration. While this reduces transparency, the website's branding, content quality, and external affiliations support its legitimacy. No direct company contact emails or phone numbers are published, with contact facilitated via web forms. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie management. Overall, the website demonstrates a professional and trustworthy digital presence aligned with its business objectives in the renewable energy sector. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing explicit security policies, and improving direct contact information to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

6 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 Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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

EDF Renewables North America holds a strong market position as a leading renewable energy provider in North America, leveraging its parent company EDF Group's global reputation. The company focuses on delivering a broad portfolio of clean energy technologies and services, targeting commercial, industrial, and utility-scale customers. Their business model combines power production with asset optimization and service contracts, indicating diversified revenue streams. The website's content and project map highlight extensive operational footprint and ongoing developments, signaling growth and market penetration. Partnerships with related EDF entities and affiliates enhance their ecosystem. The company targets environmentally conscious stakeholders and energy consumers seeking sustainable solutions, positioning itself competitively in the evolving energy transition landscape.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and implements a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection suggests potential gaps in defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, limiting transparency for security researchers. Contact information lacks direct security or abuse channels, which could delay incident reporting and response. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers, publishing incident response policies, and providing explicit security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security transparency.
  3. Enhance contact information by adding direct security and abuse email addresses to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the WordPress CMS platform, utilizing a range of modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. The use of SiteOrigin Panels and Formidable Forms indicates a modular and flexible page-building approach. The site supports multiple languages via TranslatePress, enhancing accessibility for diverse audiences. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and image-heavy content that may impact load times. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. The technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security configurations 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.
