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 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

  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 256-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

Energia operates primarily in the energy sector, focusing on electricity and gas supply with an emphasis on sustainability and green energy. Their business model targets both domestic and commercial customers in Ireland, offering competitive pricing and smart technology solutions. The company benefits from ISO certifications and positive customer trust signals such as Trustpilot integration. Marketing efforts are supported by multiple tracking and analytics platforms, indicating a data-driven approach to customer engagement. The absence of detailed incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and security communication. No suspicious or unrelated domains were identified, and social media presence is active across major platforms.

Security posture

The website employs strong security measures including HTTPS, multiple security headers, and CAPTCHA to protect user interactions. Cookie consent is managed effectively, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits the ability to assess full security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is high but could be improved by adding explicit security documentation and vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance visibility and contact options for the Data Protection Officer and security team.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.
  5. Continue improving mobile optimization and accessibility features for broader user inclusion.

Technical notes

Notes

Energia's website is built on the Kentico CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies and integrations such as Google Tag Manager, Adobe DTM, and Webtrends Optimize for analytics and marketing. The site includes advanced consent management via OneTrust and interactive features like Trustpilot reviews and Raffle AI search. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The technical stack is well-maintained with no visible deprecated or vulnerable libraries. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, and WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits full infrastructure 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.
