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

The Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP) is a UK-based non-profit organisation dedicated to accelerating the development of the offshore wind supply chain. Founded in 2019, OWGP provides funding and structured business support to UK companies, helping them grow, improve productivity, and compete globally in the offshore wind sector. The organisation also serves as the Industrial Growth Plan Delivery Body, aligning its initiatives with national priorities to support net zero and energy security goals. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear messaging targeted at businesses involved or interested in offshore wind supply chain development. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. The site is hosted by GoDaddy and uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. While the site performs moderately well and is mobile optimized, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. No blocking WAF or security challenges were detected, allowing full content access. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and secure forms but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. There is no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which could be enhanced to improve security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for OWGP, with strong business credibility and good technical foundations. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response transparency would further strengthen the site's security posture and user trust.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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.

Business context

Business profile

OWGP occupies a strategic position in the UK renewable energy sector, focusing on offshore wind supply chain growth. Its non-profit business model centers on providing grant funding and business transformation support to a diverse range of companies, including those new to offshore wind from other industries. The organisation's alignment with the UK Industrial Growth Plan enhances its relevance and access to public funding. OWGP's market positioning as a flagship entity in offshore wind supply chain development, combined with its partnerships and support programs, indicates a strong ecosystem presence. The website's content and testimonials suggest effective engagement with over 250 businesses and significant funding awarded, supporting growth and job creation. OWGP's focus on accelerating revenue growth, generating skilled jobs, increasing exports, and developing intellectual property highlights its comprehensive approach to sector development.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, which is positive. The site would benefit from implementing and publishing security best practices and compliance documentation to enhance trust and meet regulatory requirements such as GDPR and NIS2. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with focused efforts on headers, policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It leverages jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements such as sliders. The hosting provider is GoDaddy.com, LLC., with domain registration consistent with the organisation's founding date. The site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, ensuring encrypted communications. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy and security policies. The technical stack is modern and maintainable but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements to reduce technical debt and risks.
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.
