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

GMR Energy Trading Limited is a medium-sized Indian energy sector company specializing in electricity trading across various segments of the Indian power market. It operates under the larger GMR Group umbrella, which has a diversified infrastructure presence. The company is a licensed category-1 trader and an active participant in major Indian power exchanges, serving over 140 clients. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with clear business descriptions and service offerings focused on power trading and market participation. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA for security and analytics. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent banners. The site is well-structured with good navigation and content relevance but could improve accessibility and SEO features. From a security perspective, the site shows good baseline practices like HTTPS and bot protection but lacks publicly disclosed security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and consistency. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with moderate technical maturity and security posture. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and transparency around security policies would 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

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"

  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

    • 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

  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

GMR Energy Trading Limited holds a strong market position as a preferred trader in the Indian electricity market, leveraging its affiliation with the GMR Group. Its business model focuses on electricity trading via bilateral contracts and power exchanges, targeting power producers, utilities, and discoms. The company benefits from its stake in Power Exchange India Ltd. and active memberships in IEX and PXIL, providing competitive advantages in market access and client base. The website links extensively to sister and parent company domains, indicating a well-integrated corporate ecosystem. Growth indicators include trading volumes and client numbers. The company’s operations are primarily India-focused, with a medium-sized organizational scale. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented with excellent SSL configuration, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies are available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The use of Google Tag Manager and Analytics introduces moderate user tracking, but no cookie consent mechanism is present, which may impact GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the site follows basic security best practices but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, leveraging external libraries such as Font Awesome and Google Fonts for styling and icons. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and marketing analytics. Google reCAPTCHA protects forms against spam and abuse. The site is mobile responsive and loads external resources from reputable CDNs. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The hosting provider is not identified from the data. The site lacks advanced SEO meta tags and structured data formats like JSON-LD or Open Graph, which could improve search engine indexing and social sharing. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced with better SEO, accessibility, and security features.
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.
