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

Elvaco AB is a Sweden-based company specializing in providing comprehensive end-to-end smart metering solutions primarily for the energy sector. Their offerings include hardware such as meters, sensors, and communication modules, as well as software solutions like Elvaco Evo for data collection, visualization, and analysis. The company targets utilities, real estate companies, and energy professionals, positioning itself as a reliable and experienced player with over 30 years in the industry and more than ten million devices integrated globally. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and provides extensive product and company information, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and SignalR, integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, and uses HTTPS with secure session management. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though some improvements in accessibility and security headers could enhance its posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and secure form validation, but lacks explicit security policies or vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which raises some transparency concerns, though the website content and business indicators strongly suggest legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional security headers and published incident response information. Strategically, Elvaco should focus on improving transparency by addressing WHOIS data issues, enhancing security headers, and publishing clear security and incident response policies. These steps will strengthen trust and compliance, supporting their position as a leading smart metering solutions provider.

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

4 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 16 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

Elvaco operates in the energy sector with a focus on smart metering and IoT solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive product portfolio, combining hardware and software, and their long-standing industry experience. The business model is B2B, serving utilities and real estate companies globally. Revenue streams likely include product sales, software subscriptions, and service contracts. The company shows growth indicators through active news updates and participation in accelerator programs. Their partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and industry events. Operationally, Elvaco maintains multiple locations in Europe, supporting international projects. The website reflects a stable and professional operation with clear market positioning in energy metering infrastructure.

Security posture

Elvaco demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, secure session management, and input validation on forms. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The site uses third-party scripts responsibly, though continuous monitoring is recommended. GDPR compliance is indicated by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain transparency and trust.

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.
