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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  4. 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

RWE's market positioning as a leading energy provider is reinforced by its strategic investments in renewables and energy trading. The business model integrates generation, trading, and consulting services, targeting a diverse client base in China and internationally. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and references to global operations indicate a mature partnership ecosystem. The website content and linked domains reflect a coherent corporate strategy focused on sustainable energy solutions and smart city infrastructure. Growth indicators include expanding operations in Asia-Pacific and a clear commitment to net zero emissions by 2040. The company leverages digital tools for marketing and analytics, supporting data-driven decision-making and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, secure form handling, and a consent management platform for cookies. However, the absence of several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is a gap in transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing security policies to build user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team to enhance compliance and user trust.
  4. Consider adding explicit company phone contact details to complement email and contact forms for improved accessibility.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with jQuery, UIKit framework, and Usercentrics for consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Google Tag Manager and eTracker are employed for analytics and tracking, supporting marketing and user behavior insights. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and assets. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details were not found. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
