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

EP Power Europe, a. s. is a large Czech energy utility specializing in electricity production, brown coal mining, renewable energy, and energy trading. It operates as part of the Energetický a průmyslový holding (EPH) group and targets both general public and business stakeholders in the energy sector. The company presents itself professionally with a well-structured website offering comprehensive information about its business segments and corporate governance. The website is multilingual and includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern frameworks such as Foundation and includes plugins for multilingual support and GDPR compliance. It uses Google Analytics with IP anonymization and has a cookie consent mechanism. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no major technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent to comply with privacy regulations. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not publish a security policy or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data reduces trust slightly but is mitigated by the professional presentation and association with a known parent company. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with room for improvement in security transparency and WHOIS data availability. Strategic recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response plan, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to enhance 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

9 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.

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

EP Power Europe holds a unique position in the Czech energy market, focusing on electricity generation, coal mining, and renewable energy. Its business model integrates production and trading, leveraging its parent company EPH's resources. The company targets a broad audience including industry partners, regulators, and the public. The website's content and structure indicate a stable, large enterprise with a clear brand identity and consistent messaging. The presence of career and media sections suggests active engagement with stakeholders. The partnership ecosystem includes the parent company and career platform, supporting growth and talent acquisition. The company appears to maintain a solid market presence with a focus on sustainability and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. Use of Google Analytics with IP anonymization shows privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No published security or incident response policies limit transparency and preparedness perception. Lack of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt reduces the ability for external security researchers to report issues responsibly. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a corporate site but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and publishing security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to increase transparency and stakeholder confidence.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Investigate and resolve the lack of WHOIS data publication to improve domain registration transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a Foundation front-end framework, leveraging jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries. It uses plugins for multilingual support (WPML), GDPR compliance (Complianz), and analytics integration (MonsterInsights). The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and includes SEO optimizations such as meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and navigation is clear and consistent. The technical stack is standard for corporate websites, providing a balance of functionality and maintainability. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
