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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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

The coalition operates as a medium-sized entity within the energy and transportation sectors, focusing on renewable hydrogen as a decarbonization solution. Its business model centers on policy advocacy, industry collaboration, and knowledge dissemination, supported by a broad coalition of industry players. The presence of multiple supporter logos and collaboration with entities like EGHAC strengthens its market position. The website targets policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental advocates, aiming to influence European energy policy and market development. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and event sponsorships. The coalition's strategic focus on renewable hydrogen positions it well amid growing global energy transition trends.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. Use of asynchronous loading for analytics reduces performance impact and potential tracking issues. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate to good but could be enhanced with additional transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with EU regulations and improve privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen technical defenses.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to ensure compliance with standards and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Flickity carousel, and analytics tools such as Matomo and Microsoft Clarity. The site loads asynchronously for analytics scripts, improving performance. DNS prefetching is used for external resources to optimize loading times. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. However, accessibility features appear basic and could be improved. No hosting provider is explicitly identified. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and compliance features.
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.
