Risk levelLow

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

Lacima is a specialized provider of software and advisory services focused on trading, valuation, optimisation, and risk management within the global energy and commodities markets. The company is positioned as an industry leader with multiple awards and a global client base, including major energy companies. Their business model revolves around modular analytics solutions tailored for energy and commodity market participants such as traders and risk managers. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies including jQuery, WP Rocket for performance, and Algolia for search, demonstrating a mature digital infrastructure with excellent mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and appropriate security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. Privacy compliance is good with cookie consent mechanisms in place, but the absence of a clear privacy policy page is a gap. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, but the lack of WHOIS domain registration data introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy.

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

3 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. 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

Lacima holds a strong market position as a multi-award winning analytics provider in the energy sector, serving a diverse global clientele. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive and consistent analytics engines that support front and middle office functions. The business model is service and software-based, generating revenue through licensing, advisory, and training services. The target customers are energy and commodity market participants requiring advanced risk and valuation analytics. Growth indicators include recent awards and active client success stories. The company is part of the EEX Group, enhancing its credibility and reach. Strategic partnerships and a robust product portfolio position Lacima well for continued market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent, but a formal privacy policy is missing. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security and incident response documentation and ensuring all forms have anti-bot protections.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with performance optimizations via WP Rocket and enhanced search capabilities using Algolia. The use of jQuery and other standard libraries is current and well-managed. The site loads quickly and is mobile-optimized with responsive design. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but CDN usage indicates a robust delivery infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience and reliable operation.
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.
