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

ESD Waste2Water operates as a specialized provider of wash water recycling and remediation systems, targeting industrial and commercial clients seeking environmental water treatment solutions. The company positions itself within the energy sector, focusing on sustainable water management technologies. The website is built on WordPress and leverages common web technologies such as Gravity Forms and Google reCAPTCHA to facilitate user interaction and spam prevention. While the site demonstrates good design quality and user experience, it lacks comprehensive privacy and security disclosures. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content appears professional and business-oriented. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and SSL configuration. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security measures.

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

5 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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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 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

  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 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

  3. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  4. 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';…

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

The business targets a niche market in environmental water treatment, offering specialized recycling and remediation systems. Its B2B model focuses on selling technology solutions to industrial clients. The website's use of professional branding and social media presence indicates an effort to build trust and market reach. However, the lack of detailed company registration and contact information limits transparency. The integration of marketing tools like LeadManagerFX and Google Analytics suggests active lead generation and user tracking strategies. The company appears to be small-sized with no evident parent or subsidiary relationships. Growth potential exists if compliance and trust signals are strengthened.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic to moderate. The website uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to secure forms, but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, and no security.txt file is found. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content. To improve security posture, the company should implement comprehensive security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and establish clear incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish detailed privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish a security.txt file and provide incident response contact information for vulnerability reporting.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of Gravity Forms for form handling and Google reCAPTCHA for spam prevention. It uses FontAwesome for icons and Smart Slider 3 for visual content presentation. The site loads external scripts from Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and LeadManagerFX for marketing and analytics purposes. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO meta tags are present but could be improved. No hosting provider information was identified. The technical stack is modern but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
