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

EPEX SPOT is a leading European power exchange operating under the umbrella of the EEX Group. The company provides a comprehensive suite of electricity trading products including day-ahead, intraday, capacity, and guarantees of origin auctions across multiple European countries. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and extensive market data offerings targeted at energy market participants such as producers, retailers, and system operators. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS and leverages modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, though the absence of explicit security headers and a public security policy suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which is unusual for a business of this scale and may warrant further verification. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and well-optimized for its audience.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

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

EPEX SPOT holds a strong market position as a key European power exchange, benefiting from its integration within the EEX Group. Its business model centers on facilitating transparent and efficient electricity trading and providing market data services. The company targets energy market participants across Europe, offering products that cover the entire electricity value chain. The presence of a dedicated webshop for data and e-learning modules indicates diversified revenue streams. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as the EEX Group webshop and REMIT reporting services, enhancing its service portfolio. Growth indicators include expansion into new markets like the Baltic region and innovative offerings such as weather indices and local flexibility markets. The website content and structure support a professional and credible brand image aligned with industry standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and secure form submissions incorporating CSRF tokens. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security posture. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, nor a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which are best practices for transparency and incident management. The missing WHOIS data raises a minor concern regarding domain registration transparency but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  5. Continue monitoring and optimizing privacy compliance measures, including cookie consent mechanisms and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS files and images optimized for different devices. The technical infrastructure appears stable and professionally maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is an opportunity to improve technical SEO and security by adding missing HTTP headers and enhancing metadata. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience aligned with the business objectives.
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.
