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

4 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The company operates in the energy and environmental services sector, offering key services in water, energy, and waste management. It leverages its global parent company Veolia Group's resources and brand reputation. The website links extensively to Veolia's global and regional domains, indicating a broad partnership ecosystem. The business model focuses on providing sustainable solutions to industrial and municipal clients, with growth supported by strategic initiatives like ecological transformation. The presence of certifications and compliance commitments suggests a focus on quality and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

Veolia Portugal's website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes essential security headers, indicating good security hygiene. The use of a consent management platform (Didomi) shows attention to privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. The site would benefit from publishing detailed privacy and security policies to enhance trust and compliance visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve legal compliance and transparency.
  3. Include explicit contact details such as company emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience.
  5. Implement structured data markup for business information to improve SEO and trust signals.

Notes

It integrates Google Tag Manager and Beyable analytics for tracking and marketing purposes, alongside Didomi for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some external scripts loaded asynchronously.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure web presence with room for enhancements in accessibility and structured data.
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.
