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

Axel Group AB is a leading Swedish company specializing in personal alarms, personal safety, and alarm services, with a strong focus on workplace safety, lone workers, and protection against violence and threats. The company offers a range of products including personal alarms, alarm services, vehicle tracking, and safety training, supported by a webshop for streamlined ordering. Their market position is strong within Sweden, targeting organizations and individuals requiring reliable safety solutions. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site uses purePUBLISH CMS and is hosted by WebOne AB. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization, clear navigation, and professional design, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no major technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and HSTS are not clearly present, and there is no visible vulnerability disclosure or security policy page. Privacy compliance is partial; a privacy policy and terms of service are present, but no cookie consent mechanism is detected, which may be a GDPR compliance gap. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with a solid business credibility score. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would enhance their security posture 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

8 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

    • 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

  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 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention axel.se, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for axel.se right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Business context

Business profile

Axel Group AB operates in the technology sector focusing on personal safety and alarm solutions. Their business model includes direct sales of personal alarms and related services, supported by a webshop. The company targets safety-conscious organizations and individuals, particularly those with lone workers or exposure to workplace violence. Their competitive advantage lies in product quality, comprehensive service offerings, and compliance with Swedish workplace safety regulations. Partnerships with hosting and CMS providers are transparent, and social media engagement supports brand presence. Growth indicators include recent webshop launch and active news updates. The company maintains a consistent brand and clear market positioning within Sweden.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces overall security maturity. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. No visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers, formal incident response procedures, and improved privacy compliance to mitigate risks and demonstrate security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates third-party libraries such as Font Awesome and Splide.js for UI components. Google Fonts and icon libraries are used for consistent branding. The CMS is purePUBLISH, and hosting is provided by WebOne AB, both reputable providers. Performance is moderate with no critical technical debt observed. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and canonical links. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement advanced security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
