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

2 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Veolia Ireland operates as a subsidiary of the global Veolia Group, targeting Irish businesses and communities with ecological and sustainability solutions. Their market positioning is strong, leveraging global expertise and local presence. The business model centers on providing environmental services including industrial utilities, water treatment, and resource regeneration. The company maintains a professional online presence with regular press releases and sustainability reporting, indicating active engagement and transparency. Partnerships and related domains within the Veolia ecosystem reinforce their market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Consent management is implemented via Didomi, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism suggests areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance visibility of contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, utilizing modern front-end technologies including SVG graphics and Google Fonts for design consistency. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight, and beYable Analytics, alongside a robust consent management platform (Didomi). Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured data usage. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the presence of .ie domain and related infrastructure suggests a reputable hosting environment. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation and security transparency.
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.
