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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Athene Group operates in the finance sector, providing essential services like bookkeeping, payroll, HR, and tax advisory. Their business model focuses on delivering comprehensive economic services supported by modern software systems and automation. The company targets SMEs and international businesses requiring localized financial services in the Nordic region. Their market position is strengthened by a consistent brand, positive client feedback, and certifications such as FAR membership. The website's multilingual support and regional partner domains indicate a strategic approach to market expansion. The use of HubSpot for CMS and marketing automation suggests a focus on inbound marketing and customer relationship management.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. Cookie consent and privacy policies align with GDPR requirements, enhancing user privacy protection. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page and lack of incident response contact details represent gaps in transparency and readiness. The integration of third-party scripts like HubSpot, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential vulnerabilities. No critical security issues or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documents and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging its marketing and analytics ecosystem. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components. Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel are employed for tracking and advertising purposes, while Hotjar provides user behavior analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices like meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement. Hosting is managed by HubSpot, ensuring reliable uptime and SSL configuration. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence with opportunities for further optimization.
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.
