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

Ehandel.se is a leading Swedish news platform and meeting place focused on the e-commerce industry. It provides news, insights, and event information targeted at e-commerce professionals and businesses within Sweden. The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, integrating modern web technologies and third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO practices, although explicit privacy and terms of service pages were not detected in the provided content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks visible security headers and formal security policies. WHOIS data for the exact domain queried was not found, indicating a possible query on a subdomain or domain registration under a different name, which slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the site appears professional and functional with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Ehandel.se occupies a strong position as a specialized media outlet serving the Swedish e-commerce sector. Its business model centers on content publishing and industry event promotion, targeting e-commerce professionals and companies. The platform leverages partnerships with marketing and analytics providers to enhance user engagement and advertising effectiveness. The absence of explicit contact information and corporate registration details limits direct business verification. However, the consistent branding and quality content suggest a medium-sized media entity with a focused niche. Growth opportunities may include expanding transparency around privacy policies and security practices to build greater trust with users and partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that denies ad personalization by default, aligning with GDPR principles. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security indicates potential areas for hardening. No forms or input fields were detected that would require additional input validation or protection. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces preparedness transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analyzed content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced header implementation and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and correct WHOIS registration details to ensure domain registration information aligns with the website and business identity.
  5. Continue monitoring and managing third-party scripts and tracking tools to balance marketing needs with user privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Elementor page builder, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services for analytics and marketing. The site loads asynchronously many scripts including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Cookiebot for consent management. Preconnect hints are used for performance optimization. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including viewport settings and robots directives. Fonts are loaded via Google Fonts with extensive unicode coverage. No broken elements or errors were detected in the provided HTML snippet. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the content. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in security header implementation and privacy documentation.
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.
