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

Carotte is a Swedish company specializing in catering, event services, staffing, and facility management, operating through multiple specialized subsidiaries.

The website reflects a mature digital presence with modern technologies such as WordPress, Yoast SEO, and integration with Google Tag Manager and analytics tools.

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 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

Carotte holds a solid market position in the hospitality sector in Sweden, leveraging 40 years of experience and a network of specialized subsidiaries. Their business model focuses on providing integrated service solutions for corporate and private clients, enhancing customer experience through quality catering, event management, and staffing services. The company demonstrates strategic use of digital marketing and analytics to optimize customer engagement and operational efficiency. Partnerships with web agencies and use of multilingual plugins indicate a focus on accessibility and market reach. Growth indicators include active news and inspiration sections and a clear emphasis on customer testimonials and service quality.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of Cloudflare for bot and DDoS protection, and a comprehensive cookie consent framework. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness perception. The site uses third-party scripts like Zendesk Chat and Google services, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR is evident through detailed cookie categories and user consent options. Enhancing security documentation and incident response mechanisms would strengthen the overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact or procedure to improve transparency.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance form security with anti-bot measures such as CAPTCHA to prevent abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and multilingual support via WPML. Hosting appears to be on Amazon Web Services, inferred from cookies. The site is well-optimized for SEO with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design ensuring good mobile experience. Accessibility features are present, and the site uses a consistent branding and design system. Opportunities exist to further optimize performance and enhance technical documentation related to security and compliance.
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.
