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

Wind-turbine.com operates as an international marketplace dedicated to the wind energy industry, facilitating the buying, selling, and investment in wind parks, wind turbines, components, and related services. The platform targets wind park operators, investors, service providers, and equipment sellers, positioning itself as a specialized hub within the renewable energy sector. Founded in 2003, the website demonstrates a mature presence with a consistent brand and professional content tailored to its niche audience. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Mouseflow for session recording, and eTracker for analytics, alongside advertising integrations via Google Ad Manager and DoubleClick. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and uses HTTPS for secure communications. However, no explicit CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and anonymized IP tracking but lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms indicates partial GDPR compliance. The domain registration is consistent and long-standing, registered with IONOS SE since 2003, supporting the legitimacy of the business. Overall, wind-turbine.com presents a trustworthy and professional platform within the wind energy market, though it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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"

    • 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. 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Wind-turbine.com holds a strong market position as a specialized international marketplace in the renewable energy sector, focusing on wind energy assets and services. Its business model revolves around connecting buyers, sellers, investors, and service providers through a digital platform, generating revenue likely from listing fees, advertising, and premium services. The target customer segments include wind park operators, investors seeking wind energy projects, and companies offering components and services. The platform's longevity since 2003 indicates stable operations and market acceptance. The ecosystem includes partnerships with analytics and advertising providers but no direct partner or subsidiary domains were identified. Growth indicators include the addition of new asset classes like 'Ready to Build' projects and multilingual support, enhancing global reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and anonymized IP tracking in analytics, which are positive indicators. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security contact information is published, and there is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Privacy compliance is partial, with missing explicit privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms detected. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The security score reflects these strengths and gaps, suggesting the need for improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements fully.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and diverse technology stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Mouseflow, and eTracker for analytics and user behavior tracking. Advertising is managed via Google Ad Manager and DoubleClick, indicating monetization through ads. The site is built with responsive design principles, likely using Bootstrap framework, and supports multiple languages. Hosting is likely provided by IONOS SE, consistent with the domain registrar. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and video content. However, the absence of a known CMS suggests a custom solution, which may require dedicated maintenance. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO is adequately addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance to reduce technical risks.
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.
