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

Business Sweden is a government-affiliated organization dedicated to helping Swedish companies expand their global sales and assisting international companies to invest and grow in Sweden. The website is professionally designed with comprehensive content covering markets, industries, insights, and business support services. The technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies such as Adobe Typekit for fonts, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, Cookiebot for consent management, and Microsoft Application Insights for telemetry. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and privacy mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and incident response information are not prominently published. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is unusual and warrants further verification, but the website's branding and content strongly support its legitimacy. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence suitable for its role as a trade and investment promotion entity.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

Business Sweden holds a leading position as the Swedish trade and investment council, targeting Swedish companies seeking international growth and foreign investors interested in Sweden. Its business model is government-backed, focusing on market expansion, trade facilitation, and strategic advisory services. The website content reflects a broad sector coverage including energy, transportation, manufacturing, and technology. The organization provides extensive market insights, reports, and client case studies, indicating a well-established partnership ecosystem and a strategic approach to global business development. The lack of direct contact details on the main page suggests a controlled communication channel, possibly to manage inquiries through specific programs or offices.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, uses cookie consent management via Cookiebot, and integrates telemetry through Microsoft Application Insights, indicating a proactive approach to security and privacy. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No visible vulnerability disclosures, incident response contacts, or security policies were found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates regular security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Provide clear security policy and incident response information on the website, including dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure transparency and domain legitimacy.
  4. Audit third-party scripts regularly to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.
  5. Enhance contact information availability to improve user trust and facilitate communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with asynchronous loading of fonts and scripts, integration of Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent. Microsoft Application Insights is used for telemetry and error monitoring, indicating a mature approach to performance and reliability monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external script dependencies. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. Opportunities exist to improve technical security headers and streamline third-party dependencies to reduce potential attack surface.
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.
