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

7 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

FVB operates primarily in the energy consulting sector, serving clients in Sweden and internationally. Their business model focuses on providing consulting services that improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. The company leverages a network of local offices in Sweden, the UK, Canada, and the USA to offer localized expertise on a global scale. Their client base includes notable energy companies and public sector entities, as evidenced by the client logos displayed. The company emphasizes long-term customer relationships, independence, and active participation in energy research and development. The presence of a dedicated careers subdomain indicates ongoing growth and recruitment efforts. Partnerships with credit rating agencies like DNB enhance their financial credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and bot attacks, and a detailed cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for enhancement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness communication. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be strengthened to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide explicit contact channels for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for improved inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.6.1 with the Yoast SEO plugin and WPBakery Page Builder, indicating a modern CMS environment optimized for SEO and content management. The use of Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics facilitates advanced tracking and marketing analytics, integrated with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent solution (CookieYes). The site loads JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and uses responsive images for performance optimization. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is appropriate for a medium-sized consulting firm, though improvements in security headers and accessibility could enhance overall robustness and user experience.
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.
