Thermodial is a well-established expert company specializing in planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and upgrades for heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and building energy management systems (BEMS). Founded in 1986 and based in Ireland, the company serves a diverse clientele including government, hospitals, hotels, retail shops, and data centers. Their service offerings include HVAC maintenance, energy management, 24/7 callout services, and online reporting, positioning them as a trusted partner in the energy sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content and customer testimonials that reinforce their market position. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and incorporates modern web technologies such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, PostHog analytics, and reCAPTCHA v3 for security. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with good performance and accessibility standards. Privacy and cookie policies are clearly presented with active consent mechanisms, demonstrating compliance with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and employs security best practices like CAPTCHA on forms and cookie consent banners. However, it lacks explicit HTTP security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Thermodial's website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and a solid technical foundation. Strategic recommendations include implementing additional security headers, publishing a security policy, and enhancing accessibility features to further improve trust and compliance.

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

9 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

Thermodial operates in the energy sector with a focus on HVAC and building energy management services. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence since 1986, comprehensive service portfolio, and strong customer relationships evidenced by testimonials. The business model centers on service contracts including planned maintenance, upgrades, and energy management consulting. Revenue streams likely include maintenance contracts, upgrade projects, and energy management services. The target customers are facility managers, property managers, and institutional clients such as government and healthcare. Growth indicators include active content marketing, video presentations, and a newsletter subscription. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers and uses modern digital marketing and analytics tools to support business operations.

Security posture

Thermodial demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. The absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No evidence of exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or malware was found. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be strengthened to mitigate advanced threats and demonstrate higher security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize risk from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and responsive design. It integrates multiple third-party libraries and services including jQuery, FontAwesome, Google Fonts, YouTube API, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, PostHog analytics, and Mailchimp for marketing. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve performance. The presence of reCAPTCHA v3 enhances form security. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The technical stack is well-maintained but could benefit from additional security hardening and accessibility improvements.
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.
