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.

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

Anticimex holds a leading market position in Finland's pest control sector, leveraging its global parent company's resources and expertise. The business model focuses on service delivery to both corporate and consumer segments, emphasizing innovation and sustainability. Their digital platform (AxOnline) supports operational efficiency and customer interaction. The company targets a broad audience across Finland, with regional service points and a centralized headquarters in Vantaa. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and corporate values, enhancing trust and customer acquisition. Partnerships and subsidiaries are minimal or internal, with a focus on direct service provision.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes key security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, indicating a robust security baseline. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms appear to be secured with validation and do not expose credentials. However, the absence of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security incident handling. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing incident response and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Gatsby) with server-side rendering for performance. It uses Sanity as a headless CMS and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and external dependencies. The technical stack is current and supports scalability. There is no indication of legacy or vulnerable technologies. Hosting details are not explicit but likely use a CDN and cloud infrastructure. Opportunities exist to enhance SEO and privacy compliance through metadata and policy improvements.
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.
