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. 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 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

Elvaco operates in the energy sector, targeting utilities, real estate companies, and OEM partners with IoT-enabled metering infrastructure solutions. Their business model revolves around supplying end-to-end metering hardware and cloud-based software for data collection and analysis. The company leverages partnerships and maintains a global footprint with offices in multiple countries. Their marketing emphasizes innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation, positioning them competitively in the smart metering market. The presence of a newsletter, customer service portal, and active social media channels indicates a focus on customer engagement and brand building. The lack of visible certifications or security accreditations suggests an opportunity to enhance trust through formal recognitions.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses security best practices such as session timeouts and cookie consent banners. However, some standard security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and security communication. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by publishing formal security documentation and enhancing HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact details on the website.
  2. Implement and verify standard security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  4. Monitor domain WHOIS information and consider reducing privacy protection if appropriate to enhance trust.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and update privacy and cookie policies as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including jQuery, SignalR, and Google Tag Manager, with Kentico CMS inferred from URL patterns. It features responsive design, multi-language support, and multimedia content such as embedded videos. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility and SEO practices are good, with proper meta tags and structured navigation. The use of cookie consent tools and analytics indicates a mature approach to user data management. Technical risks are minimal, but ongoing monitoring of third-party scripts and dependencies is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
