Risk levelHigh

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

Flexichem is a specialized chemical company focused on producing randomly deacetylated chitosans, particularly the Viscosan™ series, which are biodegradable polymers derived from marine shells. Their products serve industries such as pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, and cosmetics, emphasizing environmentally friendly processes and green chemistry. The company positions itself as an expert in chitin and chitosan technologies with proprietary isolation methods. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern CMS infrastructure with good SEO practices. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, but performance is moderate and accessibility is basic. The site uses common plugins like Contact Form 7 for user interaction but lacks advanced tracking or analytics configuration. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap. Incident response information is not provided, and the Google Analytics plugin is installed but not configured, suggesting minimal user tracking. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better policy transparency and technical controls. The overall risk is moderate with no critical blocking or vulnerabilities detected. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, configuring analytics responsibly, and providing incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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
  • 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

Flexichem operates in a niche market supplying specialized biodegradable polymers derived from chitosan. Their competitive advantage lies in a unique isolation process for Viscosan™ polymers, positioning them as experts in chitin and chitosan technology. The business model is B2B, targeting pharmaceutical, biomaterial, and cosmetic industries. The website content and structured data indicate a small-sized company based in Sweden with a consistent brand presence and a LinkedIn profile for professional outreach. Revenue streams likely come from product sales and custom orders. The company maintains a focused partnership ecosystem with limited external domains linked, primarily professional social media. Growth indicators are not explicit but the use of modern web technologies and SEO suggests ongoing digital maturity efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The lack of published privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness is not evident, with no security or abuse contact channels provided. The use of Contact Form 7 requires careful configuration to prevent spam and injection attacks, but no vulnerabilities are visible in the HTML. Overall, the security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  4. Configure Google Analytics properly or remove unused tracking plugins to respect user privacy.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate security vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Swiper.js for slideshows, and WP Featherlight for lightbox effects. The site loads stylesheets and scripts from its own domain and trusted external sources like Google Fonts. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible in asset loading and caching. Mobile responsiveness is good due to Elementor's responsive design features. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and skip links present but no advanced accessibility features detected. The technical stack is current but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
