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

ApQ EL AB is a Swedish electrical services company specializing in power projects, electrical installations, fire and safety systems, and maintenance services. The company targets business and public sector clients, emphasizing quality, detailed planning, and project management. Their market position is supported by significant contracts with public entities such as Malmö Stad and Kävlinge kommun. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and regional contact points. Technically, the website is built on Drupal CMS, utilizing Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, though performance is moderate. Security practices include HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lack advanced security headers and published security policies. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by adding explicit privacy policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure channels. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. Strategic enhancements in these areas would 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

10 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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 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

ApQ EL AB operates in the energy sector, providing electrical and safety services primarily in Sweden. Their business model focuses on project-based service delivery with a strong emphasis on quality and customer satisfaction. The company holds important public sector contracts, indicating a stable revenue stream and market trust. Their service portfolio includes power infrastructure, electrical installations, fire safety systems, and ongoing maintenance services. The website content and structure suggest a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a clear target audience of businesses and public organizations. The presence of certifications and regional offices supports their operational capacity and market reach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner with category options, demonstrating basic compliance with privacy regulations. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to enhance security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder effective security incident management. The absence of a security.txt file limits external vulnerability reporting. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, indicating a reasonable security baseline. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Create and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure guidelines.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, with Google Tag Manager integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with a clear navigation structure and SEO-friendly meta tags. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading images and deferred scripts improving load times. The technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced by adopting advanced security headers and optimizing hosting performance. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified.
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.
