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

Bergendahls is a well-established Swedish family-owned retail and investment company with a history spanning 100 years. The company operates multiple retail brands including EKO, Glitter, and Granit, targeting consumers interested in home, lifestyle, and accessories. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with clear branding and sustainability reporting, positioning Bergendahls as a leading family business in Sweden's retail sector. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools integrated, providing a moderate performance and good mobile experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is credible and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

11 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Bergendahls holds a strong market position as a family-owned retail group in Sweden, leveraging its subsidiaries to cover diverse retail segments such as home goods, jewelry, and lifestyle products. The business model focuses on active ownership and value-driven operations, supported by sustainability initiatives. The company targets Swedish consumers and maintains transparency through published sustainability reports. The website's content and structure support brand consistency and trust, though direct contact channels like emails or phone numbers are not prominently displayed. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates a moderate level of digital maturity and marketing insight. No suspicious or privacy-protected WHOIS data enhances legitimacy. The company appears stable with a medium size and a clear corporate structure.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable analytics and tag management services, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No forms or input fields are present on the homepage, minimizing attack surface, but no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap in security transparency. No privacy or cookie policies are found, which may expose the company to compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding privacy compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Include explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them to maintain a secure technology stack.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with the Yoast SEO plugin, Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics integrated. The site uses modern web standards and preloading techniques to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are well implemented. Accessibility is basic but present. No major technical debt or errors are visible in the HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by external resources. The site lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features, which are technical gaps. Overall, the infrastructure is modern and stable but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy technical implementations.
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.
