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

Fredberg Marine AB is a small, established marine agency and trading company based in Gothenburg, Sweden, with over 20 years of experience supplying a wide range of marine equipment sourced from multiple international suppliers. The company targets marine industry businesses and vessel operators, positioning itself as a trusted intermediary in the marine supply chain. The website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder and includes supplier and product information, clear contact details, and a professional design. However, it lacks privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended to enhance domain and site security. No analytics or tracking tools are detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the website is functional and credible but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

12 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

The company operates in the transportation sector, specifically marine equipment supply, with a business model focused on agency and trading services. Its market position is that of a niche, small-sized player with a long history and established supplier partnerships. The website links to multiple partner supplier domains, indicating a broad partnership ecosystem. The company’s revenue streams likely derive from product sales and agency commissions. The clear presentation of contact information and supplier listings supports customer engagement and trust. Growth indicators are limited but the longstanding domain and business history suggest stability. Strategic observations include the need to enhance digital privacy compliance and security posture to meet evolving regulatory and customer expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing risks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, which are best practices for responsible vulnerability management. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to align with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  3. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to the web server configuration.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using WPBakery Page Builder, jQuery, and several frontend libraries such as FontAwesome and Owl Carousel. The technical implementation is standard for small business websites, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility features are basic but functional. No advanced analytics or marketing tools are detected, which limits data-driven insights but reduces privacy risks. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security configurations. Technical debt appears low but the absence of security headers and DNSSEC represents modernization opportunities. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business operations but can be improved for enhanced security and compliance.
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.
