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

Ørsted is a leading global renewable energy company focused on driving the transition to green energy through wind and solar solutions. The company operates a professional, well-structured website that clearly communicates its mission, sustainability priorities, and corporate governance. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including AngularJS, Sitecore CMS, and advanced analytics tools such as Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital presence. The website is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, supporting a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security policies or incident response contacts. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and GDPR-compliant, with detailed categorization and third-party disclosures. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and security culture. Overall, Ørsted's website reflects a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations. The domain registration data aligns well with the company's history and business profile, reinforcing legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and enhancing security headers to further strengthen the security posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Ørsted holds a strong market position as a pioneer in renewable energy, focusing on wind and solar power generation. Its business model centers on sustainable energy production and green transformation services, targeting a broad audience including consumers, investors, and partners. The company demonstrates growth through strategic sustainability initiatives and partnerships with major platforms like Salesforce and LinkedIn. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools indicates active engagement in digital marketing and customer insights. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, likely via contact forms. Ørsted's consistent branding and comprehensive content support its reputation as a trusted enterprise in the energy sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. The cookie consent framework is detailed and compliant with GDPR, reflecting good data protection practices. Use of reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing is transparent and disclosed. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in the security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the analyzed content. Enhancing security headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy would improve the security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Maintain transparency in data protection practices and continue to update cookie and privacy policies regularly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including AngularJS for frontend interactivity and Sitecore CMS for content management, indicating a robust and scalable infrastructure. Integration with AppDynamics suggests active performance monitoring. The site loads resources from multiple CDNs and third-party domains, which may impact performance but are standard for enterprise sites. The presence of preconnect hints and font preloading indicates optimization efforts. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing third-party scripts and resource loading. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly digital 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.
