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

Solarenergie.de is an educational and informational website focused on solar energy and photovoltaic technology, primarily targeting the German-speaking general public interested in renewable energy solutions. The site provides comprehensive information on solar power generation, energy management, electromobility, and sector coupling, positioning itself as a knowledge resource in the energy sector. The website leverages modern technologies including the Neos CMS and Flow PHP framework, with integrations such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The technical infrastructure is modern and supports good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through Cookiebot, but the absence of a dedicated privacy policy and terms of service pages limits full compliance assurance. No direct contact information or incident response channels are provided, which could impact user trust and regulatory compliance. Overall, the website is professionally designed and safe for general audiences, with room for improvement in transparency and security documentation.

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 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. 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

The website operates in the energy sector, focusing on solar energy education and information dissemination. It appears to be a small-sized entity with a clear target audience of individuals and businesses interested in photovoltaic technology and renewable energy. The business model is informational, likely supported by partnerships with companies such as Solarwatt, as indicated by multiple linked domains. The site uses advertising and tracking technologies from major providers like Google and Meta Platforms, indicating monetization through advertising and possibly lead generation. The partnership ecosystem includes regional Solarwatt domains, suggesting a networked approach to market presence. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the use of modern CMS and analytics tools suggests a commitment to digital maturity. Strategic observations include the need to enhance trust through clearer contact and compliance information and to strengthen security posture with published policies and headers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent managed via Cookiebot, which supports GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy and incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Compliance gaps include missing privacy policy and terms of service pages, which are critical for GDPR and other regulatory frameworks. Data protection practices are partially implemented through consent management but could be improved with clearer documentation. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with recommendations to enhance documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy including incident response procedures and contact channels.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update cookie and tracking practices to maintain GDPR compliance and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Neos CMS platform using the Flow PHP framework, indicating a modern and flexible content management system. It uses asynchronous loading of scripts including YouTube player API and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site preloads fonts and stylesheets for performance optimization and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics deployment. The presence of multiple JavaScript modules and deferred loading suggests attention to performance and user experience. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive viewport settings and font preloading. Accessibility is basic but present, with ARIA roles and labels in the cookie consent dialog. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the domain uses custom name servers. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by reducing third-party script dependencies. Technical risks include reliance on multiple external domains for tracking and advertising, which may impact privacy and performance.
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.
