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

The EEX Transparency Platform is a professional and comprehensive online portal operated by the EEX Group, providing inside information and transparency services for European energy markets including power, natural gas, emissions, and hydrogen sectors. The platform targets market participants, regulatory bodies, and the general public interested in energy market data. The website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure using TYPO3 CMS and modern JavaScript libraries such as Highcharts for interactive data visualization. It features GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms, reflecting a strong commitment to privacy and regulatory compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and basic security headers, though there is room for improvement in advanced security headers and accessibility. The absence of WHOIS data suggests privacy protection or recent domain registration, but the website's branding and content align with the reputable EEX Group, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the platform is a trustworthy and valuable resource for energy market transparency.

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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 leading position in the European energy market transparency space, offering critical data services that support regulatory compliance and market efficiency. Their business model revolves around providing transparent, real-time market data and inside information to a broad audience including market participants and regulators. The platform's integration with partner services such as the EEX webshop and EEX IIM indicates a well-established ecosystem. The lack of direct contact information on the main site suggests a focus on self-service and digital engagement. The platform's extensive country-specific data coverage highlights its comprehensive market reach and operational scale.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating adherence to basic security and privacy standards. Security headers are minimal, with only X-UA-Compatible detected, suggesting potential for enhancement with headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analysis. The use of third-party tracking via etracker is managed with user consent, aligning with privacy regulations. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards, improving usability for all users.
  3. Publish clear security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and user trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider providing direct contact information or support channels to improve user engagement and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The platform is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise use. It leverages Highcharts for dynamic data visualization, enhancing user experience with interactive charts and maps. The website is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as canonical links and meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load times through optimization of assets and scripts. The presence of cookie consent and privacy verification scripts indicates a mature approach to compliance. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of Google Cloud endpoints for APIs suggests cloud-based infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports the platform's business goals effectively.
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.
