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

EEX Group is a leading global provider of market platforms for energy and commodity products, including power, natural gas, environmentals, freight, metals, and agriculturals. The company operates a network of over 950 trading participants across 25 locations worldwide and is part of the Deutsche Börse Group. Their services encompass exchange trading, clearing, registry, risk management, market data, and transparency services, positioning them as a key player in the energy and commodity markets. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and interactive maps to enhance user experience. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with consent mechanisms, and the site maintains a professional design with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no evident vulnerabilities, though explicit security headers and incident response information are lacking. WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the overall business credibility is supported by consistent branding, detailed corporate information, and multiple subsidiary references. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and verifying domain registration details to improve 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

3 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.

    • 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

  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

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

EEX Group holds a strong market position as a comprehensive energy and commodity market platform operator, supported by its affiliation with Deutsche Börse Group. Their business model focuses on providing trading, clearing, and registry services to a global network of market participants. The company benefits from a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries and partner entities across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, enabling extensive market reach and service offerings. Revenue streams likely include transaction fees, clearing services, market data sales, and risk management solutions. The target customer segments include energy producers, commodity traders, financial institutions, and regulatory bodies. Growth indicators include continuous updates to corporate reports, active news dissemination, and expansion of service offerings. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with multiple related domains and subsidiaries linked to the main brand. Strategic observations suggest a focus on sustainability, transparency, and innovation to maintain competitive advantage in a regulated and evolving market environment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of etracker for analytics is accompanied by cookie consent mechanisms, indicating attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No published security policy or incident response contact information was found, which could hinder effective communication in case of security incidents. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file further limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publicly sharing security governance details to build greater trust with users and partners.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Develop and make publicly available a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance by maintaining clear cookie consent and data protection practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise use. It employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.6.4 and Lottie for animations, and Leaflet.js for interactive maps, indicating a commitment to user engagement and interactivity. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. SEO is well addressed through proper meta tags and structured navigation. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, suggesting ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts. Hosting provider details were not identified, which could be explored further for infrastructure security assessment.
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.
