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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-Content-Type-Options header

      Prevents MIME type sniffing

      What to do: Add "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff"

      • CAPEC-209
      • ASVS V3.4.4
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      No DKIM record found

      DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to emails

      What to do: Configure DKIM with your email provider

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

Tangent Energy operates in the energy sector with a focus on Energy as a Service (EaaS). Their business model leverages technology platforms and managed services to deliver distributed energy solutions. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation based in the United States, targeting utilities and industrial customers. The website content highlights case studies and product offerings, indicating active market engagement. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual and warrants verification. The company uses modern marketing and analytics tools, suggesting a growth-oriented and data-driven approach. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its proprietary Tangent AMP® software and integrated service model. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, managed services, and project financing. The target customer segments include municipal utilities, commercial enterprises, and military facilities, indicating a diversified client base. The website’s professional design and content quality support a credible market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No security policy or incident response contact information is published, limiting transparency. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests limited formal security communication. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Forms appear minimal and do not show explicit security controls in the HTML. The WHOIS data absence is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate but can be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), a robust enterprise CMS platform, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. Integration with OneTrust for cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics shows adoption of modern compliance and marketing tools. The site uses responsive design techniques and includes accessibility features, though some improvements are possible. Performance appears moderate with use of external content delivery networks for images and scripts. The site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. However, the absence of certain security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that could impact business operations and trust.
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.
