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

EmbeddedArt Group AB is a Swedish technology company specializing in embedded systems, underwater technology, and defense-related products and services. Their offerings include underwater sensors, maritime surveillance systems, IoT solutions, and system development services. The company targets defense and marine technology sectors, positioning itself as a niche provider with expertise in embedded and underwater systems. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content focused on their core competencies. Technically, the website uses a custom CMS with older but functional JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 2.1.1, integrated with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile optimized and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements. However, there is no visible evidence of modern security headers or advanced security frameworks implemented. From a security perspective, the site does not show signs of blocking or WAF interference, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, but the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure pages indicates room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, EmbeddedArt's website demonstrates a moderate to good level of digital maturity with solid business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security policies, modernizing technical stack, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms would strengthen their security posture and trustworthiness.

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

12 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. 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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

EmbeddedArt operates in a specialized segment of the technology industry focusing on defense and marine embedded systems. Their business model combines product development with expert consulting services, targeting government and defense clients as well as commercial marine technology sectors. The company maintains multiple legal entities indicating a structured corporate presence. Their market positioning leverages deep technical expertise in underwater sensors and IoT platforms, which are critical in defense and maritime surveillance. The website content and navigation suggest a focus on attracting skilled professionals and investors, supporting growth and innovation. The LinkedIn presence and detailed contact information enhance their partnership and networking capabilities. Revenue streams likely include product sales, system integration services, and consulting. The absence of direct e-commerce or transactional features on the site aligns with a B2B service model. The company’s expansion and career sections indicate active recruitment, signaling growth. Overall, EmbeddedArt appears to be a credible, niche player with a clear strategic focus and a professional digital footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS usage is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. Security headers are not visible in the provided data, suggesting potential gaps in HTTP security best practices. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicates compliance with GDPR and privacy regulations. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms reduces transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of an older jQuery version (2.1.1) could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly patched. No forms with sensitive input fields were detected, reducing immediate risk exposure. The site does not appear to be behind a WAF or security challenge, which is positive for accessibility but may indicate less advanced perimeter security. Recommendations include implementing security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), updating JavaScript libraries, publishing security and incident response policies, and adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting. These steps would enhance the security maturity and trustworthiness of the website.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration if not already done.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform using legacy JavaScript libraries like jQuery 2.1.1 and jQuery UI. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking purposes. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism powered by cookiemanager.dk, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, likely impacted by multiple external scripts and older libraries. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced front-end technologies. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks visible security headers and modern security frameworks, which represents a technical risk. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
