VALOREM Group · Energy · France

High risk. 12 critical or high findings in Network security, Security headers and 2 other checks.

Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

VALOREM Group is a well-established independent operator in the renewable energy sector, pioneering wind energy in France and expanding across Europe with solar and hydropower projects. The company emphasizes community involvement and sustainable energy transition, supported by a professional and content-rich website. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, providing good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are absent. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which slightly reduces trust but does not detract from the overall legitimacy of the business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency and publishing vulnerability disclosure information.

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

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

VALOREM holds a strong market position as a pioneer in green energy with diversified renewable sources and international presence. Its business model integrates project development, asset ownership, and community financing via crowdlending. The company targets investors, local communities, and job seekers, leveraging partnerships and digital platforms to engage stakeholders. Revenue streams likely include energy production, project development fees, and community investments. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear branding and trust signals such as annual reports and testimonials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and secure form handling. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of third-party scripts is controlled but should be regularly audited. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO and Matomo analytics, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly infrastructure. The presence of Mailjet for newsletters and Tarteaucitron for cookie management shows attention to marketing and privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The site uses standard web fonts and SVG icons for visual consistency. No hosting provider information was detected. Technical risks are minimal but depend on maintaining plugin and script updates.
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.
