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

NOF is a UK-based business development membership organization focused on facilitating valuable connections within the global energy sector. The company positions itself as the strongest energy sector network in the UK, offering services such as business development support, industry introductions, events, and access to an offshore wind projects database. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive information about its services and membership benefits. Contact details and social media presence reinforce its credibility. Technically, the website leverages modern technologies including Umbraco CMS, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Google reCAPTCHA for security. The site implements HTTPS with a Content Security Policy header, indicating a good security posture. However, additional security headers could enhance protection. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration constraints, but the website content and contact information strongly indicate a legitimate UK-based business. Security-wise, the site shows good practices such as secure forms with CAPTCHA and no exposed sensitive data. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy with a moderate to high security posture. The main risk is the lack of WHOIS data due to domain registration rules, which limits domain trust verification but does not indicate malicious intent. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, and considering a vulnerability disclosure policy to further improve trust and compliance.

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

2 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 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

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

NOF operates in the energy sector as a membership organization providing business development and networking services. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive UK energy sector network and tailored services such as offshore wind project data access. The business model relies on annual memberships and event organization, targeting UK energy companies seeking growth and supply chain engagement. The company demonstrates growth potential through partnerships and a broad service portfolio. The website content and testimonials indicate strong industry relationships and a professional reputation. The partnership ecosystem includes major energy brands and supply chain companies, although no explicit partner domains were identified in the HTML content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, Content Security Policy implemented, and use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms to prevent spam and abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. GDPR compliance is supported by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security culture appears positive but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy disclosures to align with best GDPR practices and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform with Bootstrap 4 for responsive design. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, HubSpot for forms and analytics, Eventbrite for event widgets, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS with a Content Security Policy header to restrict resource loading. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, indicating good usability. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated, though hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and secure user experience.
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.
