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

Squadron Energy is a 100% Australian owned renewable energy company specializing in the development, operation, and ownership of wind, solar, and firming energy assets across Australia. The company positions itself as a leading player in the Australian renewable energy sector, focusing on powering local communities with sustainable energy solutions. Their portfolio includes multiple wind farms, solar farms, and energy storage projects, reflecting a comprehensive approach to renewable energy generation and grid firming. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, indicating a mature digital presence. However, some security headers are not explicitly present, and there is no visible cookie consent mechanism despite the use of tracking scripts. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. The absence of detailed security policies or incident response information suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which slightly reduces trustworthiness, but the professional presentation and consistent business information mitigate this concern. Overall, Squadron Energy's website reflects a credible and professional renewable energy business with a solid digital infrastructure. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, adding cookie consent for compliance, publishing security and incident response policies, and improving domain registration transparency to strengthen trust and compliance posture.

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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

Squadron Energy operates in the Australian renewable energy market with a focus on wind and solar power generation and energy firming solutions. Their business model centers on asset development, ownership, and operation, targeting local communities and energy purchasers. The company leverages partnerships with landowners, contractors, and power purchasers to expand its project portfolio. Market positioning as a leading Australian-owned renewable energy company provides competitive advantage and brand trust. The website content and structured data indicate a medium-sized enterprise founded in 2018, with a clear growth trajectory and community engagement strategy. The presence of detailed project information and community sponsorships suggests a strong local market focus and stakeholder involvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive information. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates potential areas for hardening against common web attacks. The absence of a published security policy or incident response plan reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Tracking scripts are present without a visible cookie consent mechanism, which may raise privacy compliance concerns under GDPR and similar regulations. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with clear opportunities for improvement in policy publication and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking technologies.
  3. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  4. Consider deploying a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  5. Review and audit third-party scripts regularly to ensure no vulnerable or outdated libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with jQuery. It integrates third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel. The site uses Swiper.js for interactive slideshows and lazy loading for images to optimize performance. The HTML is well-structured with appropriate meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter Cards). Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detectable from the HTML. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing third-party scripts and images further. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
