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
10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Network security
Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.
Critical
Critical Service Exposed: MySQL
Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server
What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN
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"

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.

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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
The company targets businesses and organizations involved in biomass energy production seeking sustainability certification. Its business model revolves around certification services and compliance verification under EU regulations. The market position is solid within the niche of sustainability certification, supported by partnerships with certification bodies and national supporting organizations. The website content and structure reflect a focus on transparency and regulatory compliance, with clear navigation and relevant documentation. Growth indicators include scheduled workshops and updates on regulatory changes such as RED III. The partnership ecosystem includes certification bodies and industry associations like the Biogas Association.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests limited formal incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is sufficient for the business type but could be enhanced to align with best practices and compliance requirements.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid introducing vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on Joomla CMS with integration of Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It uses a camera slideshow plugin for visual content and NewRelic for performance monitoring. The hosting and DNS services are provided by Mesh Digital Limited and domaincontrol.com respectively. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are technical risks that could be addressed to improve security posture. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from further optimization and security hardening.
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.
