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

Fredriksons Verkstads AB is a Swedish-based industrial manufacturing company specializing in contract manufacturing and conveyor solutions. The company emphasizes sustainability and operational efficiency, serving industrial clients primarily in Sweden and China. Their market position is supported by multiple ISO certifications and a parent company relationship with XANO-koncernen, a publicly listed industrial group. The website content is professionally presented, targeting B2B customers seeking high-value manufacturing services. Technically, the website is built on the Litium CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, Vimeo for video content, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Cookiebot is implemented for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and basic accessibility features, though SEO could be enhanced further. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong security headers and secure form handling. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are absent, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, Fredriksons presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with solid technical infrastructure and compliance practices.

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

4 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. 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 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

Fredriksons operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on contract manufacturing and conveyor solutions. Their competitive advantages include ISO certifications, a sustainability focus, and a strong parent company backing. The business model is B2B, targeting industrial clients requiring precision manufacturing and assembly services. Revenue streams likely derive from manufacturing contracts and conveyor system sales and services. The company maintains a presence in Sweden and China, indicating a global operational footprint. Partnerships and social media engagement support brand visibility and customer relations. Growth indicators include recent capacity expansions and sustainability initiatives. The company ecosystem includes subsidiaries such as Fredriksons Industry (Suzhou) Co., Ltd and affiliation with XANO-koncernen.

Security posture

Fredriksons demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive cookie consent management via Cookiebot, and implementation of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were identified. The website uses secure forms with anti-forgery tokens, reducing risk of CSRF attacks. However, the absence of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. GDPR compliance is evident through cookie consent and privacy policy presence. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced documentation and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  4. Improve SEO metadata completeness and structured data to boost search engine visibility.
  5. Add a terms of service page to clarify user and business legal obligations.

Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tag management, while Cookiebot manages GDPR cookie consent. Video content is embedded via Vimeo with consent-based loading. The site uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and SEO optimization. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, with no deprecated or vulnerable components detected. Opportunities exist to modernize accessibility features and enhance SEO structured data implementation.
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.
