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

Flowy Information AB is a specialized subscription service provider based in Sweden, positioning itself as the largest Nordic supplier of subscription services. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including subscription management, customer service, marketing automation, and business analytics, targeting media houses and businesses with subscription models. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supporting their market position with clear service offerings and a focus on enabling clients to concentrate on their core business activities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern theme and uses common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and cookie consent tools. Google Analytics is employed for user tracking, and the site is hosted via Loopia AB, consistent with the domain registration data. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Accessibility features are basic but present. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks advanced security headers and does not publicly disclose a security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The domain registration is consistent with the business claims, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and compliance posture. Strategic improvements could include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and enhancing security headers to further strengthen the security posture and trust signals.

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

    • 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. 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"

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

Flowy operates in the media sector, providing subscription management and related services primarily to media houses and subscription-based businesses. Their business model is B2B service provision, focusing on operational outsourcing of subscription routines and value-added services like marketing automation and customer support. The company leverages its long industry experience since 1982 to maintain a strong market position as the leading Nordic subscription service provider. The website and social media presence indicate a mature business with a clear target audience and professional branding. Partnerships or subsidiaries were not identified, suggesting a focused operational scope. The company appears to have stable growth indicators and a solid reputation in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR, indicating awareness of privacy and security regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, and the use of standard, updated WordPress plugins reduces risk. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced with additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Mesmerize Pro theme, which provides responsive design and good SEO capabilities. It uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and integrates Google Analytics for tracking. The hosting provider is Loopia AB, a reputable Swedish registrar and hosting company. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities in loading speed and accessibility. The site includes cookie consent management compliant with GDPR. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of advanced security headers and DNSSEC indicates room for modernization. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with potential for incremental improvements.
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.
