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

Elavon is a prominent payment processing company operating in Sweden and the Nordic region, providing secure and reliable payment solutions for businesses of all sizes. The company processes millions of transactions daily across major card brands and supports modern payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a focus on business clients, offering detailed service descriptions and partner information. Technically, the site is built on Adobe Experience Manager, uses modern JavaScript libraries, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data for the exact domain suggests the domain is a subdomain or alias, but the association with U.S. Bank Europe DAC lends credibility. Overall, the site is professional, GDPR compliant, and trustworthy.

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. 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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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 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';…

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

Elavon targets a broad business audience including SMEs and large enterprises, offering payment acceptance solutions both in-store and online. The company leverages partnerships and regional sites to extend its market reach. Its business model centers on transaction processing fees and value-added services like reporting and analytics. The presence of a developer portal indicates a focus on integration and API-driven services. The company benefits from the backing of U.S. Bank Europe DAC, enhancing its market credibility. Growth indicators include a large transaction volume and multi-country operations. The website content and structure support a strong brand image and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of modern CMS and third-party scripts is managed appropriately. Recommendations include adding security headers and publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is good but could be elevated with additional transparency and controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact details for security issues to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable versions are used.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic penetration testing to identify and remediate potential security gaps.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, and uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Brightcove is used for video content delivery. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic but present. The technical stack is modern and suitable for a large enterprise, though some improvements in security headers and performance tuning could be beneficial. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively.
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.
