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

Energy Community is a government organization dedicated to uniting and coordinating energy policies and market integration across Europe, with a focus on the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe. The organization provides legal frameworks, event coordination, and support for energy transition and climate governance. Their website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, targeting government entities, energy sector stakeholders, and policy makers. The site offers extensive event information, news updates, and resources related to energy policy and market developments. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Foundation framework, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, hosted on a CMS platform identified as Magnolia. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a fast to moderate performance profile. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection on forms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to query failure, but the website content and structured data strongly indicate legitimacy as a government entity. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve transparency on privacy and security policies.

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

5 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
    • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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 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

Energy Community operates as a key regional governmental organization in the energy sector, focusing on policy harmonization, legal frameworks, and market integration. Their business model is non-profit and regulatory, serving contracting parties and stakeholders in the energy community region. The organization maintains a strong partnership ecosystem visible through social media and event collaborations. Their market position is significant in the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe energy markets, supporting green transition and energy security. Revenue streams likely derive from governmental funding and international cooperation. The website content and event calendar indicate active engagement and growth in renewable energy, climate governance, and energy efficiency sectors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens implemented in forms, reducing risk of common web attacks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or MIME sniffing attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is limited, with no visible cookie consent mechanisms or privacy policy, which may pose regulatory risks under GDPR. Incident response contact channels are not disclosed. Overall, security is good but could be enhanced by publishing policies and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response information including contact channels for security incidents.
  4. Improve WHOIS transparency if possible to enhance trust and legitimacy signals.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and tracking tools to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magnolia CMS and uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, Foundation framework, Swiper, Owl Carousel, and FontAwesome for UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the organization as a GovernmentOrganization. Performance is moderate with caching and minified resources. The event calendar is dynamically rendered with custom web components. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
