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

12 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  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 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Arctic Group operates in the technology sector focusing on IT consulting and cybersecurity services. Their business model is B2B, targeting enterprises and organizations requiring IT security and digital transformation. They leverage partnerships with Atlassian and IAM providers to offer comprehensive solutions. The company demonstrates growth through active marketing, partnerships, and a strong content strategy including news, events, and customer cases. Their parent company, Allurity, provides additional business stability and resources. Arctic Group's competitive advantage lies in its specialized expertise, strategic partnerships, and consistent branding. The company maintains multiple physical offices in Sweden, indicating a medium-sized operation with regional influence.

Security posture

The website shows a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of security-conscious third-party tools. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and verify HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the ITC Paris theme and blocks, combined with popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel. It integrates Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and asynchronous resource fetching. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
