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

Arctic Stories is a small cultural tourism business based in Sweden, specializing in Sámi storytelling and joiking experiences in Jokkmokk. The company offers unique cultural activities including traditional joik singing, storytelling sessions, and contemporary dance performances, targeting tourists and cultural enthusiasts interested in indigenous Sámi culture. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring multimedia content such as images and embedded videos, and integrates social media links to Instagram. Technical infrastructure is modern and secure, with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy and terms of service documentation. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which impacts overall trustworthiness. Contact information is clearly provided, including email, phone, and physical address, enhancing business credibility. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating some privacy compliance awareness.

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.

Priority findings

6 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

The business operates in a niche market of cultural tourism focused on Sámi traditions in northern Sweden. Its business model revolves around experience-based services, including live performances and interactive storytelling sessions. The company leverages digital channels such as Instagram for marketing and customer engagement. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise with a consistent brand presence. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified. The lack of WHOIS data and privacy policy may hinder trust from potential customers and partners. The company could benefit from formalizing privacy and security policies and improving transparency to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact reduces preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent banner but no detailed privacy policy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with additional controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add terms of service documentation to clarify user and business obligations.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Verify and correct domain registration to ensure WHOIS data is available and accurate.
  5. Establish a security incident response plan and provide relevant contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Fonts and Google Maps API. It embeds multimedia content such as YouTube videos and uses a cookie consent banner for privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and moderate performance. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal but includes canonical tags and Open Graph metadata. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical stack is appropriate for a small business website but could be enhanced with improved accessibility and SEO practices.
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.
