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

Exertus IT AB is a Swedish technology consulting company specializing in Code and Cloud consulting services, primarily serving clients in Göteborg and the surrounding region. The company emphasizes long-term client relationships, high-quality software development, and agile methodologies. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, with clear navigation and relevant content targeting businesses seeking modern development and cloud solutions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Cookie Law Info, indicating a standard but effective digital infrastructure. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and compliant with GDPR, though it would benefit from enhanced security disclosures and incident response information.

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

10 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

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 · 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

The company operates in the technology sector as a small-sized consulting firm focused on delivering cloud and code development services. Their business model centers on providing skilled developers and agile project delivery to maximize customer value. The website content and structure suggest a focus on quality and customer satisfaction, with no visible certifications or extensive partner ecosystem. The firm targets Swedish businesses looking for modern software solutions and emphasizes values such as community, agility, personal development, and passion. The lack of phone contact or physical address on the site may limit some customer trust but is mitigated by the presence of a contact form and professional presentation.

Security posture

Exertus IT AB's website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or security policy pages are present, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The site uses standard WordPress plugins, which require regular updates to avoid vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Include explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding phone contact and physical address details to improve business credibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern theme and uses jQuery and Contact Form 7 for interactive features. Fonts are preloaded for performance, and cookie consent is managed via a dedicated plugin. The site loads external scripts and stylesheets from its own domain, indicating self-hosted assets. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and the site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting provider and WHOIS data were not available for analysis.
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.
