77/100

Risk levelLow

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

Nord Pool is a leading European power market operator providing day-ahead and intraday trading services across 16 countries. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including market data, compliance, clearing, and consulting, positioning itself as a critical infrastructure player in the energy sector. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and extensive content tailored to energy market participants and stakeholders. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies such as AngularJS, integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools with user consent mechanisms, and employs a reputable CMS platform (Episerver). Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and privacy compliance, although public security policies and incident response details are not prominently published. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable gap but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the company's established market position and professional web presence.

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

4 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.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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
    • 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Nord Pool operates in the energy sector as an essential market operator, facilitating power trading and related services. Their business model centers on providing transparent, efficient market platforms and compliance solutions to power producers, retailers, TSOs, and exchanges. The company benefits from a strong market position as a leading European power market, supported by ISO 27001 certification and a broad service portfolio. Their target customers include energy market participants requiring reliable trading, data, and compliance services. The website indicates a large organizational size with structured offerings and educational programs, suggesting a mature and stable business with growth potential in expanding energy markets and regulatory environments.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of third-party analytics and tracking is managed with user consent, reflecting privacy awareness. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing dedicated security documentation and adopting a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program including a security.txt file.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Consider providing more detailed business registration and compliance information on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring AngularJS for frontend interactivity, Episerver CMS for content management, and integrates multiple analytics platforms including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and ClickDimensions. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred JavaScript to improve user experience. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a secure browsing environment. Opportunities exist to modernize the frontend framework and improve accessibility compliance. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the presence of global CDN and analytics services suggests a robust infrastructure.
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.
