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

7 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

    • 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

  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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

ESMA operates primarily in the manufacturing sector, focusing on B2B services that optimize and customize component manufacturing and logistics for the Swedish market. Their business model revolves around providing tailored solutions that enhance operational efficiency for clients in various industrial fields. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including notable industry players like Volvo, Scania, and Sandvik Coromant, which enhances its market position. The website's content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a strategic focus on quality and customer service. Growth indicators include a broad service portfolio and active client base exceeding 200 customers. The absence of explicit terms of service or security policies suggests an opportunity for further transparency. The company’s digital maturity is evidenced by multi-language support and advanced analytics integration.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers present, contributing to a secure browsing environment. The use of a comprehensive cookie consent tool demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations and user data protection. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response information indicates a potential gap in transparency and preparedness communication. The site does not display any signs of malware or phishing, and no critical vulnerabilities were identified. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Add incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including terms of service and data protection officer contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the WordPress CMS platform, utilizing modern technologies such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management. The site employs a responsive design with excellent mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and video content to improve load times. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented via the WebToffee Cookie Consent plugin, providing granular user control over cookie categories. The technical implementation reflects a well-maintained infrastructure with opportunities to improve hosting provider transparency and further optimize performance metrics.
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.
