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

8 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

  2. 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"

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

The company positions itself as a specialist in local energy distribution, targeting investors, developers, and customers requiring complex energy services. Its business model revolves around licensed operation of local distribution systems, offering both infrastructure management and energy supply services. The website content and domain registration data are consistent, indicating a legitimate and established business. The company leverages partnerships within the ESCO group and regulatory compliance to maintain market credibility. Growth potential is supported by the focus on new technologies and energy efficiency solutions. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel, likely via contact forms and portals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent with blocking of non-essential cookies, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks published security policies and incident response information, which are important for transparency and trust. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and no known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were identified. The use of common WordPress plugins requires regular updates to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding explicit security documentation and improving HTTP header security.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security or abuse emails.
  3. Implement and configure security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more comprehensive contact information for users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Fusion Builder framework and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-optimized infrastructure. Hosting is provided by WebSupport, a reputable Slovak hosting provider. The site uses JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and plugins for cookie management and popups. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and Open Graph metadata for social sharing. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but security headers are missing, which is a technical risk. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
