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

Organic Energy (UK) Limited is a well-established UK-based supplier specializing in biomass boilers, wood pellet stoves, and solar thermal heating systems. The company targets homeowners and businesses across the UK and Ireland seeking sustainable and eco-friendly energy solutions. They offer expert system design, installation support through a network of installers, and exclusive access to the advanced ÖkoFEN Pellematic biomass boiler range. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear contact details and customer testimonials, positioning the company as a trusted player in the renewable energy sector. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 with a range of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Flexslider, and Colorbox, and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Hosting is provided by Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. However, some technical debt is evident with the use of an outdated jQuery version and lack of modern security headers. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and anonymizes IP addresses in analytics. Nonetheless, it lacks several recommended security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which impacts GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, indicating room for improvement in security governance. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and credible with a strong business foundation. Strategic enhancements in security headers, privacy compliance, and modernization of technical components would further strengthen its posture and trustworthiness.

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

5 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

Organic Energy operates in the renewable energy sector, focusing on biomass and solar thermal heating solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in exclusive UK distribution of the ÖkoFEN Pellematic range and a dedicated installer network. The business model combines product supply with installation and support services, targeting environmentally conscious residential and commercial customers. The company demonstrates growth potential through its comprehensive product offerings and educational content. Partnerships with manufacturers and installer networks enhance market reach. The website content and structure support lead generation and customer engagement effectively.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced with good SSL configuration, and IP anonymization in analytics reflects privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. The use of an outdated jQuery version may introduce vulnerabilities. Lack of published incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about tracking practices.
  3. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  4. Develop and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential weaknesses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a mature CMS platform, supplemented with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.10, Flexslider, and Colorbox for enhanced UI/UX. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is hosted by Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a reputable provider, and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO practices are adequately implemented with meta tags and structured navigation. However, the use of outdated libraries and missing security headers indicate technical debt and potential risks. Modernization efforts focusing on updating dependencies and enhancing security configurations would improve stability and security.
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.
