The company positions itself as an expert in helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint while improving profitability, boasting significant savings and impact within the UK market. Their service offerings include sustainability integration, compliance and disclosure, energy saving, and cultural transformation, targeting businesses seeking to enhance their environmental performance. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, enhanced with SEO and performance plugins such as Yoast SEO and WP Rocket. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, with modern technologies and tracking tools integrated for analytics and marketing. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs some security best practices, including cookie consent mechanisms and tracking control. However, it lacks explicit privacy policy documentation and incident response contact details, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency. Overall, the website is professional and functional with good content and technical implementation. The main risks relate to missing WHOIS data and incomplete privacy compliance documentation. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, enhancing security headers, and clarifying contact information 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

Energise operates in the sustainability consultancy sector, focusing on energy and carbon reduction services primarily within the UK. Their market positioning leverages expertise in Net Zero strategies with a track record of significant savings and footprint impact. The business model centers on consultancy services delivered to corporate clients, including SMEs via a partner platform (Sustemic). Revenue streams likely derive from consultancy fees and partnership collaborations. The company maintains an active digital presence with social media channels and a content-rich website, supporting brand visibility and client engagement. Growth indicators include diversified service offerings and event hosting. The partnership with Sustemic indicates ecosystem expansion targeting SMEs. Overall, Energise demonstrates a focused and credible market presence in the sustainability domain.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and some security headers present. Use of reputable WordPress plugins and cookie consent mechanisms indicate awareness of security and privacy best practices. However, the lack of a published privacy policy and incident response information represents compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR and related regulations. No explicit vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The missing WHOIS registration data is a notable concern for domain legitimacy and trust. The site would benefit from enhanced security header implementation, explicit vulnerability disclosure, and incident response contacts to improve overall security maturity and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to meet GDPR and privacy compliance requirements.
  2. Add explicit terms of service and vulnerability disclosure pages to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and document incident response procedures with clear contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Improve accessibility features to ensure compliance with accessibility standards and improve user experience.
  5. Enhance security headers (e.g., Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options) and conduct regular security audits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supported by SEO and caching plugins such as Yoast SEO and WP Rocket. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Fonts, with integration of marketing and analytics tools like Facebook Pixel and Google Tag Manager. Performance optimizations such as script lazy loading and preconnect hints are implemented, contributing to fast load times. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO metadata is well structured including Open Graph and JSON-LD schema. Technical risks are minimal but include potential improvements in accessibility and security header completeness. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
