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

Gruppo Iren is a large Italian multi-utility holding company operating primarily in energy production and distribution, integrated water services, and environmental services. The company serves millions of customers across multiple regions with a workforce exceeding 10,000 employees. Their market position is strong, supported by a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries and a clear focus on sustainability and innovation. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive corporate, investor, and sustainability information, targeting a broad audience including customers, investors, and partners. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern analytics and tag management tools such as Adobe Launch and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly, with good performance metrics. Privacy and cookie policies are clearly implemented with consent mechanisms, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no published security.txt or explicit incident response contact, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is consistent and supports the legitimacy of the domain and business. Overall, the website presents a professional, secure, and trustworthy digital front for Gruppo Iren, with minor recommendations to enhance security posture and transparency.

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

2 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 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

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

Gruppo Iren operates in the energy and environmental sectors as a multi-utility holding company with a multi-regional footprint. Its business model integrates energy production, water services, and environmental management, targeting residential, commercial, and institutional customers. The company benefits from a diversified subsidiary ecosystem, enabling comprehensive service offerings. Investor relations and sustainability governance are well articulated, indicating a mature corporate structure. Growth is supported by innovation initiatives and strategic partnerships. The company’s digital presence supports its market positioning and stakeholder engagement effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. The use of modern tag management and analytics tools is balanced with privacy compliance mechanisms. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a security.txt file, as well as lack of explicit incident response contacts, represent gaps in security transparency and incident readiness. Regular audits of third-party scripts and continuous monitoring are recommended to maintain security integrity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information on the website for security reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and analytics tags to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance user awareness and trust by highlighting certifications and security practices more prominently.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS platform, ensuring scalability and content management efficiency. Integration with Adobe Launch and Google Tag Manager facilitates flexible marketing and analytics deployment.

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.
