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. 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"

      • 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"

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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 company holds a strong market position as a family-run, independent energy provider with a diversified portfolio spanning energy trading, technical installations, and sustainability consulting. Its ecosystem includes multiple subsidiaries and partner companies, enhancing its service range and market reach. The business model leverages direct customer relationships across private and industrial sectors, supported by technical expertise and service offerings. The presence of certifications and active social media engagement further strengthens its brand and customer trust. Growth indicators include a broad product portfolio and participation in industry events. Strategic partnerships with photovoltaic and sustainability firms indicate a focus on renewable energy and future-oriented solutions.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers, published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs, which are important for mature security posture and compliance. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces moderate tracking but is managed with user consent. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards for inclusive design.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust and widely used CMS (TYPO3), ensuring maintainability and scalability. It uses modern JavaScript libraries for UI components and integrates marketing and analytics tools effectively. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and multiple scripts. There is no explicit hosting provider information, but domain name servers indicate professional hosting. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and improve 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.
