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

Advectas is a well-established Nordic consulting and solutions company specializing in Business Intelligence and Data Science. Founded in 2006, it has grown to become a leading total supplier in its field with over 200 specialists across Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. The company offers a broad range of services including BI, Data Science, Budgeting & Planning, and Management Consulting, supported by strategic partnerships with major technology vendors such as Qlik, IBM, SAP, Tableau, and Microsoft. Their market position is strong within the Nordic region, serving large enterprises and organizations with tailored decision support solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and uses common analytics and tracking tools like Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile optimized and features good navigation and content quality. However, some security best practices such as HTTP security headers are missing or not visible in the provided data. Cookie consent is implemented, but privacy compliance could be improved with more comprehensive policies and GDPR indicators. Security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the HTML content, but the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement. The presence of affiliate links to betting sites (1xbet) is unusual for the core business and may affect trustworthiness. Overall, Advectas presents a credible and professional business with a solid digital presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing clear security and incident response policies, improving privacy compliance, and reviewing affiliate partnerships to maintain brand integrity.

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

7 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

Advectas holds a strong market position as a leading Nordic provider of Business Intelligence and Data Science solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in a large team of specialists, strategic partnerships with leading BI tool vendors, and a broad service portfolio that covers consulting, software solutions, and training. The business model focuses on delivering tailored decision support systems to large enterprises across various industries. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees, software licensing (including their own Xencian products), and training services. The company targets decision makers and operational managers in medium to large organizations seeking data-driven insights. Growth indicators include stable 30% annual growth and multiple industry awards. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including major technology vendors and niche partners. Strategic observations highlight a focus on innovation, customer satisfaction, and expanding service offerings such as management consulting and process mining.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS as indicated by canonical URLs, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place. However, no explicit HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) were detected in the provided HTML content, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security or incident response policy published, nor contact channels for security incidents. Data protection officer information is absent. The presence of affiliate links to betting sites introduces potential reputational risk and may require scrutiny. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML. Overall, the security culture appears basic with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls. Compliance with GDPR is partial, with cookie consent but no detailed privacy policy or data retention disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website, including dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance by expanding the privacy policy to cover GDPR requirements fully, including data retention and user rights.
  4. Review and clarify affiliate partnerships, especially with betting sites, to ensure alignment with company values and avoid reputational risks.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging standard technologies such as jQuery and Slick Slider for UI components. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization details available. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements. The presence of multiple language versions indicates good internationalization support. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential risks from third-party affiliate links.
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.
