NIS2 and GDPR posture

GDPR outside view: 83/ 100 · Low
Checks completed: 7of 7

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

(a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside
(b) Incident handling: One indicator
(c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
(d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside
(e) Secure acquisition, development and maintenance, including vulnerability handling: Partly checked

(j) Multi-factor authentication and secured communications: Not visible from outside

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.

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

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.

Counted in this score

SSL/TLS: 32
Security headers: 70
Email security: 55
DNS health: 80
Network security: 0
GDPR outside view: 83
Average: 53
After the cap: 49

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

The company operates in the energy sector as an essential utility provider with a large customer base in the UK. Its business model focuses on electricity distribution and network management, supported by digital services for customer engagement and operational transparency. The parent company Iberdrola provides significant corporate backing, enhancing market credibility. The website content and linked domains indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem and a commitment to regulatory compliance. The presence of detailed service offerings and stakeholder engagement initiatives suggests a strategic focus on growth and customer satisfaction. The company leverages digital tools for analytics and marketing while maintaining strong privacy standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of cookie consent and privacy preference centers indicates compliance with GDPR and related regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information represents an area for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from additional published policies and incident response details.

Recommendations

Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Enhance transparency by including data retention policies related to analytics and tracking.
Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential 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.
