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

Essity Aktiebolag (publ) is a leading global healthcare and hygiene company specializing in incontinence products, wound care, compression therapy, and orthopedics. The company holds a strong market position with globally recognized brands such as TENA, Leukoplast, and JOBST. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and distributing medical and health-related products to a diverse audience including family carers, professional caregivers, patients, and consumers through multiple channels including pharmacies, hospitals, and e-commerce. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries and tools such as JWPlayer for media, Google Tag Manager for analytics, OneTrust for consent management, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, indicating a well-maintained technical infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses standard security headers, and integrates cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations. The domain registration data aligns with the company's public information, reinforcing legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, providing incident response contacts, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further strengthen security posture.

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 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Essity is positioned as a global leader in healthcare and hygiene sectors, particularly in incontinence care and medical solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in strong brand recognition, market leadership in Europe and Latin America, and a diversified product portfolio covering wound care, compression therapy, and orthopedics. The company targets both professional and consumer markets, leveraging multiple sales channels. Growth indicators include organic sales growth and a broad geographic footprint. The partnership ecosystem includes trusted third-party analytics and consent management providers. The website content and structure reflect a strategic focus on sustainability, innovation, and corporate governance, supporting their market presence and investor relations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive cookie consent aligned with GDPR, and use of security headers. Integration with New Relic indicates active monitoring of performance and errors. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure page represents a compliance gap and potential risk in transparency. The security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices to users and stakeholders.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.
  5. Optimize website performance to improve loading speed and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based tech stack including JWPlayer for video content, Google Tag Manager for analytics, OneTrust for cookie consent, and New Relic for monitoring. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features and SEO optimization. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the use of CDN domains and asset hosting indicates a distributed infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load times. The site does not appear to use a common CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but ongoing monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
