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

5 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

Castra operates in the technology sector focusing on IT consulting services for Swedish enterprises and public sector clients. Their business model centers on attracting top IT consultants by offering autonomy and a collaborative culture, which is a competitive advantage. The company has secured multiple high-profile contracts and awards, indicating strong growth and market presence. Their partnership ecosystem includes career and partner network subdomains, and they are part of the GO MO Group. Castra targets both IT professionals seeking consultancy roles and organizations needing expert IT services. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics to maintain visibility and client engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, integration of Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Security headers are assumed but not explicitly visible in the provided data. The company should consider publishing dedicated security documentation and providing direct security contact channels to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers and make their presence explicit for improved security posture.
  5. Provide clear security contact information to facilitate incident reporting and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Enfold theme and child theme customization. It employs popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive content and sliders. MediaElement.js is used for video playback, and Google reCAPTCHA is integrated for form security. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and MyNewsDesk plugin. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some large images but overall good technical implementation. There is no explicit hosting provider detected from the content. The site uses UberMenu for navigation and has cookie compliance scripts for GDPR adherence.
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.
