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

Hitachi Energy is a global enterprise specializing in sustainable energy solutions, focusing on powering the world's energy systems to be more sustainable, secure, resilient, and affordable. The company operates primarily in the energy sector, providing advanced power grid technologies, grid automation, and electrification products. Their market position is that of a leading energy technology provider with a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and clear navigation aimed at energy sector professionals, governments, and industrial customers. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Adobe Dynamic Tag Management, and Cloudfront CDN for performance and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with robust analytics and marketing tools integrated. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and consent management for privacy compliance. The security posture is strong, with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The company maintains ISO 27001 certification and provides clear incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and branding strongly support legitimacy. Overall, Hitachi Energy's website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, security, and compliance, suitable for an enterprise in the energy sector. Recommendations include verifying domain registration details for transparency and continuing regular security assessments to maintain the strong security posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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.

The site is well optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good accessibility features. The use of structured data (JSON-LD) and comprehensive meta tags supports SEO effectiveness.

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.
