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

Santane Limited is a UK-based independent engineering and technology consulting firm specializing in energy transition, sustainability, and integrated engineering services. The company targets clients in high hazard industrial sectors including renewables, oil and gas, petrochemicals, hydrogen, nuclear, and food & beverage industries. Their service portfolio spans the entire project lifecycle, emphasizing digital transformation and safety. The website is professionally designed using SilverStripe CMS and incorporates modern technologies such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Weglot for multilingual support. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, providing clear navigation and comprehensive content. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, though security headers and incident response information are lacking. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration issues, which raises legitimacy concerns despite the professional web presence. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure and credible business positioning but should address WHOIS inconsistencies and enhance security disclosures.

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

6 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Santane Limited operates in the energy and engineering consulting sector with a focus on sustainability and technology transformation. Their competitive advantage lies in their integrated service offerings across multiple industrial sectors and lifecycle stages. The business model is consultancy-driven, targeting energy producers and industrial clients seeking decarbonization and digital solutions. The company maintains a strong client base with repeat business and showcases partnerships and client logos prominently. Growth indicators include active news updates and participation in industry events. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and industry stakeholders. The company’s operations are centered in the UK with global project reach. The website content and structure support a professional and trustworthy brand image.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in security transparency and readiness. No security.txt or dedicated security contact channels were found. The use of third-party analytics and tag management scripts is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by privacy and cookie policies, but explicit data retention and user rights information could be improved. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a consultancy website but would benefit from enhanced security best practices and incident response preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details with explicit data retention periods and user rights information to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SilverStripe CMS platform, leveraging modern front-end libraries such as Choices.js and Weglot for multilingual support. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for tracking and marketing analytics. The site uses Google Fonts and CDN-hosted assets for performance optimization. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for SEO and social media integration (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are addressed but could be improved further. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts without visible security headers and incomplete incident response information.
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.
