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

Avantec Consulting AB is a Swedish IT consulting company based in Göteborg with over 20 years of experience providing IT architecture, system design, development, and project management services primarily to businesses and government agencies. Their key technical competencies include Java, ReactJS, NodeJS, and cloud platforms such as Azure and Amazon AWS. The company positions itself as a trusted local expert with a focus on delivering tailored IT solutions across multiple industries including public sector, life sciences, construction, automotive, and telecom. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies like Bootstrap, jQuery, and FontAwesome, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. However, the site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features and does not appear to use a CMS or advanced analytics tools. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility. From a security perspective, the site does not display privacy or cookie policies, lacks security headers, and does not provide incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No forms are present to collect user data, reducing immediate risk exposure, but the absence of HTTPS confirmation and security best practices lowers the security posture score. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, enhanced security measures, and better transparency regarding data protection. Strategic improvements in these areas would strengthen trust and reduce risk.

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 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.

Business context

Business profile

Avantec Consulting AB operates as a small-sized IT consultancy focused on delivering software development, system design, and cloud integration services to a diverse set of industries including government, healthcare, real estate, transportation, and telecommunications. Their competitive advantage lies in over two decades of experience and a strong local presence in Göteborg. The business model centers on providing expert consulting and project leadership rather than product sales. Revenue streams likely derive from consulting contracts and project engagements. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact points and LinkedIn profiles for key consultants, indicating a transparent and accessible operation. Growth indicators are not explicit but the diversified sector focus suggests resilience. No parent or subsidiary companies are indicated, and no strategic partnerships beyond social media presence are evident.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of Avantec Consulting AB's website is basic. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap with GDPR requirements. No security headers were detected, and there is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or SSL configuration details, which are critical for secure communications. The lack of vulnerability disclosure or incident response information suggests limited preparedness for security incidents. However, the site does not expose sensitive data or contain forms that collect personal information, reducing immediate risk. To improve, the company should implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, add security headers, ensure HTTPS is enforced, and provide clear incident response contacts. These steps will enhance compliance, reduce vulnerabilities, and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration to secure all communications.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and FontAwesome for icons, supported by Google Fonts for typography. The site is structured with clear navigation and mobile optimization, but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No CMS or backend technologies are evident from the HTML content. Performance is moderate with no broken elements detected. There is an opportunity to improve technical robustness by adding accessibility enhancements, optimizing SEO metadata, and integrating analytics for better user insights. The absence of visible hosting or infrastructure details limits deeper technical assessment.
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.
