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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Power Factors operates in the renewable energy sector, targeting asset owners and operators who require sophisticated management tools to optimize performance and financial returns. Their business model is primarily B2B SaaS complemented by hardware solutions. The company has secured strategic investments from notable firms like Vista Equity Partners and Mubadala, indicating strong growth potential and market confidence. Their customer base includes over 600 global clients, supported by testimonials and case studies that reinforce their market position. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with industry players and maintains an active presence through blogs, events, and press coverage. Their marketing and analytics stack is robust, enabling targeted outreach and data-driven decision-making. The absence of explicit terms of service and security policies suggests an opportunity to enhance legal and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent banners, and integrates trusted analytics and marketing scripts with privacy considerations. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not visibly implemented, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No security policy or incident response information is published, limiting transparency for security-conscious users. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which is a red flag for domain legitimacy and could impact trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies, implementing comprehensive security headers, and providing vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish a security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Publish terms of service to complete legal compliance and clarify user agreements.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight, Weglot for translations, and Demandbase for marketing intelligence. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some heavy images and multiple third-party scripts that may impact load times. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data describing the organization. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security header implementations.
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.
