Risk levelMedium

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

Bonnier Group is a prominent Nordic media conglomerate with diversified interests in media publishing, broadcasting, real estate, and investments. The company holds a leading market position in the Nordic region, serving media professionals, investors, and regional stakeholders. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with clear branding and relevant business content. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript modules and integrates Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and content relevance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though security headers and incident response information are lacking. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly impacts trust but is common for large enterprises. Overall, the website is safe, compliant, and professionally maintained.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Bonnier Group operates as a large enterprise in the media sector with subsidiaries such as Adlibris and Expressen. Its business model revolves around media content production, real estate management, and investment activities. The company targets Nordic markets and maintains a strong brand presence. The website's integration of cookie consent and privacy policies indicates a mature approach to regulatory compliance. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via web forms. The company leverages partnerships with providers like Cookiebot and Google for analytics and advertising, reflecting a robust digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder transparency in case of security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Cookiebot is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security risks. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but could be improved with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility compliance to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2, using modern JavaScript modules and integrates Cookiebot for cookie consent management. It uses Google Analytics for traffic analysis and Google services for advertising and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and hreflang attributes. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site uses standard web technologies and demonstrates a modern digital infrastructure suitable for an enterprise media company.
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.
