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

Flotation Energy is a specialized global offshore wind developer focusing on pioneering floating wind projects in deep waters. The company aims to accelerate the transition to renewable energy by delivering large-scale offshore wind farms, with a strong track record in project development, consenting, construction, and operations. Their market position is that of a leader at the forefront of floating offshore wind technology, targeting international markets with a medium-sized organizational footprint. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern optimization tools such as NitroPack and uses Google Analytics for tracking. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and performs well, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. However, some security best practices like DNSSEC and security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a secure domain registration status but lacks published security policies or incident response contacts. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating basic GDPR compliance, but privacy and terms of service pages are missing, which could be improved for better compliance and user trust. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy image with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and improving transparency around incident response and data protection roles.

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

4 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Flotation Energy operates in the renewable energy sector, specifically in offshore floating wind farm development. Their competitive advantage lies in their pioneering approach to floating offshore wind technology and a proven track record in project delivery. The business model centers on developing, consenting, constructing, and operating offshore wind farms, targeting governments, investors, and energy stakeholders. The company shows growth potential with an expanding project portfolio across international markets. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media engagement but no explicit partner domains were identified. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and clear messaging about sustainability and energy transition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent mechanisms, but the lack of privacy and terms of service pages and absence of a data protection officer contact reduces compliance confidence. The security culture appears nascent, with no explicit security frameworks or certifications mentioned.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security policy page including incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  5. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using WPBakery Page Builder and optimized with NitroPack, indicating a modern and performance-focused infrastructure. It uses Google Tag Manager and MonsterInsights for analytics and tracking. The site loads quickly and is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but present. The domain is registered with IONOS SE and has clientTransferProhibited status, enhancing domain security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some security headers are missing. The technical stack is standard for professional corporate websites, with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve security posture and compliance documentation.
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.
