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

Photon Remediation is a specialized environmental remediation company focused on providing advanced solutions for PFAS and other contamination challenges. The company leverages innovative technologies such as WaterGuard Nano™ and EarthGuard PRB™ to deliver sustainable cleanup services targeting groundwater, soil, surface water, and biosolids. Positioned as a trusted partner to militaries, airports, chemical manufacturers, and academic institutions, Photon Remediation operates under the Photon Energy Group umbrella, emphasizing eco-friendly and customized remediation strategies. Technically, the website demonstrates a modern and professional digital presence, utilizing contemporary JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager, and invisible reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a clear navigation structure. However, some technical improvements could be made in accessibility and security headers to enhance overall robustness. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, alongside a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Despite these strengths, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, indicating room for maturity in security governance. Overall, Photon Remediation presents a credible and professional business front with solid technical implementation and privacy compliance. The main risk lies in the domain registration inconsistency, which should be addressed to strengthen trust and reduce potential reputational risks.

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. 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Photon Remediation operates in the energy sector with a focus on environmental cleanup technologies, particularly targeting PFAS contamination. Their business model is B2B, serving governmental, industrial, and academic clients with tailored remediation solutions. The company benefits from its association with Photon Energy Group, enhancing market credibility and resource access. Their competitive advantage lies in proprietary technologies and a commitment to eco-friendly, sustainable remediation. The website content and linked domains suggest a well-established partnership ecosystem and a strategic focus on innovation and regulatory compliance. Growth indicators include active case studies, media presence, and collaboration invitations. Revenue streams likely derive from technology licensing, remediation services, and consulting engagements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA for form protection, and cookie consent mechanisms supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, potentially impacting trust and domain ownership verification. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available.
  4. Provide explicit company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 4.5.2, ScrollMagic, Swiper, and Moment.js, integrated with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. The use of invisible Google reCAPTCHA enhances form security. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The absence of security headers is a technical gap. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could be enhanced for security and accessibility compliance.
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.
