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

Offshore Wind North East 2025 is a professional event focused on the offshore wind energy sector in North East England. The website serves as a platform to promote the conference and exhibition, providing detailed information about the event, its organizers, sponsors, and partners. The event targets industry professionals and stakeholders in the renewable energy sector, emphasizing networking, knowledge sharing, and business opportunities. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS, uses modern JavaScript libraries and sliders, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy and should be investigated further. Overall, the website is functional and credible for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

The Offshore Wind North East event is positioned as a leading regional conference and exhibition in the offshore wind energy sector, organized by NOF and supported by Energi Coast. It has strategic partnerships with major industry players such as Dogger Bank, RWE, and Van Oord, indicating strong industry ties. The business model revolves around event hosting, sponsorship, and exhibition services, targeting energy sector professionals and supply chain participants. The event has a decade-long history, suggesting market maturity and a stable presence. The website content and partner links reinforce its credibility and market position. Growth indicators include a large number of delegates, exhibitors, and speakers, as well as active promotion of networking and business development opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and CSRF tokens implemented, which protect against common web threats. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency and preparedness. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern, potentially indicating registration issues or privacy protection that is not clearly documented. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the provided content. To improve security maturity, the site should implement recommended headers, publish security policies, and clarify domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Add a security incident response page with contact information and vulnerability disclosure guidelines.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to ensure domain registration legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided content. The use of modern JavaScript libraries indicates a contemporary tech stack, though no advanced frameworks were 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.
