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

7 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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

Equans holds a strong market position as a world leader in technical services for energy and infrastructure. Its business model focuses on providing comprehensive technical solutions to improve performance across various sectors including buildings and industries. The company’s digital presence reflects a focus on corporate clients with clear branding and structured data indicating a Brussels-based headquarters. The absence of visible contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel, possibly handled via contact forms or internal systems. The use of advanced search and analytics tools supports customer engagement and operational insights. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms denying ad personalization and storage, aligning with privacy best practices. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for enhancement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be a gap in transparency. The WHOIS data is restricted, which is common for large enterprises but limits external verification. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from additional hardening and public security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear privacy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Provide incident response contact information or a vulnerability disclosure policy to build trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain a strong security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10.4.7, a modern and widely used CMS platform, indicating a robust content management infrastructure. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Algolia for search, demonstrating advanced user experience features. The site loads multiple external resources including fonts and JavaScript libraries from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. However, the absence of detailed hosting provider information and security headers suggests areas for technical improvement. The site is well-structured with responsive design and uses modern front-end libraries such as Slick Carousel.
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.
