Risk levelHigh

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

Favner is a Swedish-based independent fintech consultancy founded in 2010, specializing in financial technology solutions including Dynamics 365 implementations and AML/KYC risk assessment services. The company maintains a professional online presence with a well-structured website built on WordPress using Bootstrap and Elementor. Their market position is strengthened by partnerships such as with Roaring and presence on Microsoft AppSource, indicating a credible and specialized fintech consultancy business. Technically, the website is modern and mobile-optimized, though performance is moderate and accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks advanced security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website reflects a small but credible fintech consultancy with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

      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
    • 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 · 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

Favner operates in the finance and technology sectors, targeting fintech companies and businesses requiring consultancy in financial technology solutions. Their business model is consultancy-focused, offering services around Dynamics 365 and AML/KYC compliance. The company leverages partnerships to enhance service offerings and market reach. The website content and structure support a professional image, though direct contact details are limited to a contact form. Growth indicators include recent news updates and product availability on Microsoft AppSource. The partnership ecosystem includes Roaring and Microsoft, which adds to their credibility and service capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No security certifications or compliance frameworks are mentioned. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with better policies, headers, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance web security.
  3. Add incident response contact information and consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly review and update security practices to maintain a strong security posture and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap and Elementor frameworks, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. The use of jQuery and standard libraries is current, though no advanced performance optimization techniques are evident. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO fundamentals with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. There is no evidence of CDN or advanced caching mechanisms from the provided data. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of privacy compliance features, which could impact business operations if not addressed.
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.
