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

The website foresightsseenergysolutions.co.uk serves as a login portal for SSE Foresight, a business energy trading platform operated by VuePoint Solutions Ltd in partnership with SSE Energy Solutions. The platform provides real-time wholesale market prices and flexible electricity and gas supply contracts tailored for business customers. The site targets energy traders and business energy consumers seeking control over commodity purchasing strategies. Technically, the site employs a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and the SmartAdmin template, ensuring responsive design and a professional user experience. Security measures include HTTPS usage, anti-CSRF tokens, and session management cookies, complemented by GDPR-compliant cookie and privacy notices. However, explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies are absent, representing areas for improvement. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security posture and business credibility with clear contact points and consistent branding.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

  3. 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

The business operates in the energy sector, focusing on B2B energy trading and supply solutions. It leverages real-time market data to offer flexible contracts, positioning itself as a technologically advanced energy solutions provider. The company benefits from SSE's established market presence and branding, targeting medium-sized business customers requiring dynamic energy procurement. The absence of terms of service and limited marketing tools suggests a focus on existing customers rather than broad consumer acquisition. The partnership ecosystem includes SSE Energy Solutions and VuePoint Solutions Ltd, with no detected subsidiaries or related domains. Growth indicators include the use of modern web technologies and compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and session security is supported by anti-CSRF tokens and secure cookie practices. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The security culture is indicated by the presence of a Data Protection Officer contact and privacy notices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add terms of service documentation to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user behavior and improve service.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a well-known admin template (SmartAdmin) combined with Bootstrap and jQuery libraries, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface. The use of Google Fonts and Font Awesome enhances visual appeal. The site loads scripts locally with fallback mechanisms for jQuery and jQuery UI, indicating attention to reliability. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or semi-custom platform. No hosting provider information is available from the content. Technical debt appears low, but SEO and accessibility could be improved by adding meta tags and ARIA attributes. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a clear login form with validation scripts.
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.
