Hello CleanTech 3.0 is a specialized startup challenge and accelerator program focused on cleantech and sustainability innovations. It connects startups, innovators, and researchers with industry leaders and investors to foster green technology development and commercialization. The program offers mentorship, funding opportunities, and a platform to pitch solutions to potential partners. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, jQuery, Select2, AWS S3 for file uploads, and Cloudflare Turnstile for spam protection. The site is mobile-optimized, well-structured, and professionally designed, providing a positive user experience. However, a critical security concern is the exposure of AWS credentials in client-side JavaScript, which poses a significant risk of unauthorized access to cloud resources. Privacy and terms policies are present and comprehensive, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong business credibility and technical maturity but requires urgent remediation of security flaws to protect sensitive data and maintain trust.

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.

Priority findings
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
This scan found 25 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The program targets cleantech startups and innovators globally, positioning itself as a niche accelerator in the energy and sustainability sector. It leverages partnerships with numerous industry players and venture capital firms to provide startups with access to funding and market opportunities. The business model is equity-free, focusing on collaboration rather than competition. The presence of a diverse panel of experts and multiple program partners indicates a robust ecosystem supporting the initiative. The website content and partner logos reinforce the program's credibility and market presence. Growth potential is supported by the program's international reach and focus on emerging green technologies.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare Turnstile captcha to mitigate spam and abuse. File uploads are handled via AWS S3, indicating a scalable infrastructure. However, the exposure of AWS access keys in client-side JavaScript is a critical vulnerability that could lead to unauthorized access and data breaches. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. Security headers are not detected, suggesting room for improvement in hardening the web server configuration. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires immediate attention to credential exposure and enhanced security controls.
Recommendations
Remove AWS credentials from client-side code and implement secure server-side upload mechanisms.
Add and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments of third-party libraries and integrations.
Enhance transparency by providing clear data retention and privacy compliance statements.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses Webflow CMS, which provides a modern and responsive design framework. It integrates jQuery and Select2 for enhanced UI components and AWS SDK for file uploads. Cloudflare Turnstile captcha is used for bot mitigation. Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare CDN, ensuring good performance and availability. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. However, the inclusion of AWS credentials in client-side JavaScript is a significant technical debt and security risk. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements by optimizing asset delivery and reducing inline scripts. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires remediation of security flaws and continuous modernization.
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.
