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

Verne is a medium-sized technology company specializing in sustainable, low-carbon data center colocation services primarily targeting high-performance computing and AI infrastructure markets. The company operates multiple data centers across Northern Europe, including Iceland, Finland, and the UK, with plans for expansion. Their website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in relevant content such as news, blogs, and detailed service descriptions. Technically, the site leverages HubSpot CMS and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, ensuring a modern digital presence. Security posture is good with HTTPS and privacy-aware analytics, but lacks explicit security policies and visible privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy and consistency of the domain registration with the business claims. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with moderate risk due to missing privacy and security disclosures.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

Verne positions itself as a leader in sustainable data center solutions, focusing on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Their business model revolves around providing end-to-end data center services including design, build, and operations, targeting enterprises requiring scalable and high-density colocation. The company maintains strong partnerships with industry leaders like NVIDIA and has a visible presence in Northern Europe. Their content strategy includes frequent updates via blogs and news, indicating active engagement with their market. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled lead capture via contact forms. The company leverages HubSpot for marketing automation and analytics, supporting a data-driven growth approach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses modern analytics tools with consent mechanisms, reflecting a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of security headers, explicit privacy and cookie policies, and incident response information indicates gaps in transparency and compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file reduces the site's security maturity. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by publishing comprehensive security and privacy documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement a cookie policy with a clear consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for security issues.
  4. Deploy standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, integrating Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Twitter tracking scripts, indicating a mature marketing and analytics infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich media content such as videos and high-resolution images. The technical implementation follows modern web standards with proper meta tags and SEO optimizations. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit privacy compliance features. No hosting provider details were explicitly found in the content.
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.
