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

NOCO is a well-established energy services company with over 90 years of experience, serving residential and commercial customers primarily in New York State. Their offerings include heating, cooling, propane, diesel, generators, solar energy solutions, and plumbing services. The company positions itself as a trusted regional leader with a strong legacy and a commitment to innovation and customer comfort. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack including Laravel backend, Bootstrap frontend, and uses various JavaScript libraries and third-party integrations such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protections in place, but lacks explicit security policies and some security headers. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy, with minor gaps in privacy and security 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

6 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

NOCO operates in the energy sector, focusing on providing comprehensive energy solutions including traditional fuels and renewable energy. Their business model revolves around service delivery and product sales to both residential and commercial clients. The company leverages partnerships with brands like Briggs & Stratton, Generac, and Kohler to enhance its offerings. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear navigation, extensive service listings, and active social media engagement. The company’s market position is strong regionally, supported by a legacy of over 90 years. Growth indicators include diverse service lines and digital scheduling capabilities. The partnership ecosystem includes forestry and generator dealer sites, indicating strategic collaborations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and CSRF tokens implemented in forms. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Tracking technologies are present, which may raise privacy concerns without explicit consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding formal security policies, incident response contacts, and enhanced HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and privacy best practices.
  3. Include a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and enhance user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Laravel backend framework and Bootstrap frontend framework. It integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and YouTube embeds for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate with video backgrounds and multiple scripts, but overall user experience is smooth. The CMS appears custom or proprietary (CMSMax). Technical risks include lack of some security headers and no visible performance optimization indicators like caching headers or CDN usage explicitly stated. The site is well maintained with no broken links or errors detected.
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.
