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

ECGO is a Swedish content website founded in 2021 that aims to help visitors make better life decisions by providing high-quality articles and guides on health, wellness, finance, and home decoration. The site targets Swedish-speaking individuals interested in lifestyle improvement and offers a curated selection of articles and external links to trusted sources. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the GeneratePress theme and popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. It employs privacy-friendly analytics via Simple Analytics and is optimized for mobile devices with good SEO practices. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers and does not publish a security policy or incident response information. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in security and privacy compliance to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

11 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

  4. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

ECGO operates as a small media content portal focusing on lifestyle and health topics. Its business model likely relies on content marketing, possibly supported by advertising or affiliate links. The site emphasizes quality over quantity, aiming to publish well-researched articles with an average length of 400 words and a goal of three articles per month. The target audience is Swedish-speaking individuals seeking advice on health, finance, and lifestyle. The site maintains a consistent brand and uses SEO best practices to position itself in the Swedish market. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, relying instead on a contact form. The absence of terms of service and detailed privacy mechanisms suggests room for maturity in compliance and user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The contact form includes a hidden honeypot field to reduce spam, indicating some attention to input security. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of well-maintained WordPress plugins and themes reduces risk, but the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Create and publish terms of service to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using the GeneratePress theme and popular plugins like Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. It uses Google Fonts and a privacy-focused analytics service (Simple Analytics). The site is mobile-optimized and has a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical setup is solid for a small content site but could be enhanced with additional security and privacy features.
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.
