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. 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: lowms.usfilter.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: warms.usfilter.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1

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
  • 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

Business profile

Veolia North America operates as a subsidiary of the global Veolia Group, focusing on environmental services in North America. Their business model centers on providing essential infrastructure and operational services in water, waste, and energy sectors, targeting municipalities, utilities, and industrial clients. The company leverages its global expertise and local presence to maintain a strong market position, supported by a broad portfolio of services including advanced digital solutions like Hubgrade. The website's extensive external links to Veolia Group entities and specialty brands indicate a well-integrated partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active content updates, white papers, and case studies emphasizing sustainability and decarbonization. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via forms, aligning with enterprise-level operational security and customer engagement strategies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism powered by Didomi, reflecting compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Integration of third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with user consent, enhancing privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present in the HTML, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness perception. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and formalized security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Develop and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and enhance security culture.
  4. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for customer support and security reporting to improve accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, Hotjar, and Didomi for consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts. The use of asynchronous loading for scripts and preconnect/dns-prefetch hints indicates attention to performance optimization. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and streamline third-party integrations to further improve performance and security.
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.
