MarramWind Ltd is a joint venture between ScottishPower and Shell New Energies UK focused on developing a large-scale floating offshore windfarm off the north-east coast of Scotland. The project aims to deliver up to 3 GW of renewable energy, powering over 3.5 million homes, and contributing to the UK's net-zero targets. The website provides detailed information about the project, partners, vision, and stakeholder engagement opportunities, reflecting a professional and credible business presence.
Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms and leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Modernizr, along with Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, though some SEO and security header enhancements could improve its digital maturity.
From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks explicit security headers and a dedicated security policy or incident response contact. The WHOIS lookup failed due to a domain naming rule violation, which may be a querying artifact rather than a true registration issue, as the site is live and professional. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened with additional controls and transparency.
The overall risk assessment is low, with recommendations to implement security headers, cookie consent mechanisms, and publish security policies to enhance trust and compliance. The site is safe for general audiences and aligns well with its business objectives and market positioning.

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
7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
High
No SPF record found
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
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"

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
MarramWind operates in the renewable energy sector as a joint venture between two major energy companies, ScottishPower and Shell. The partnership leverages extensive offshore wind experience to develop floating offshore wind projects in Scotland. The business model focuses on project development, stakeholder engagement, and supply chain investment, targeting Scottish companies and communities. The company benefits from strong brand associations and a growing market for clean energy, positioning it well for future growth. The website supports transparency and engagement but could enhance its competitive edge by showcasing certifications and detailed business metrics.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are critical for mitigating common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, limiting transparency and preparedness. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism also raises compliance concerns under GDPR. No vulnerable libraries or obvious injection points were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve digital presence and user experience.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms, utilizing a modern front-end stack with jQuery, Bootstrap, and Modernizr, ensuring compatibility and responsiveness. Google Fonts and YouTube embeds enhance visual appeal and multimedia content. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital marketing sophistication. The site loads multiple JavaScript resources asynchronously, improving performance. However, the absence of a CMS or modern framework may limit scalability and maintainability. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in SEO and accessibility. The technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
