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

Growth Hackers Sthlm AB is a Swedish digital growth consultancy specializing in growth hacking, digital marketing, and measurement services. The company positions itself as a trusted partner with recognized certifications such as Google Premier Partner and HubSpot Partner, targeting businesses seeking to optimize their digital user journeys and accelerate sustainable growth. Their website is professionally designed, bilingual (Swedish and English), and provides clear service offerings, client testimonials, and case studies to support their market presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern marketing and analytics integrations including Google Tag Manager, HubSpot forms, and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, ensuring a robust digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and anti-bot protections on forms, though explicit security headers and formal security policies are absent. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a cookie consent mechanism but lacks a visible privacy policy or terms of service. Overall, the website reflects a credible and professional business with room for improvement in formal security and privacy disclosures.

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

The company operates in the technology sector, focusing on digital marketing and growth consulting. Their business model revolves around providing specialized consulting services to businesses aiming to enhance their digital marketing effectiveness and measurement capabilities. Partnerships with Google and HubSpot enhance their credibility and service offerings. The target audience includes medium to large enterprises seeking data-driven marketing strategies and growth hacking expertise. The presence of client testimonials and case studies indicates a customer-centric approach and successful project delivery. The company maintains a small size but demonstrates strong market positioning within the Swedish digital consultancy landscape.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating awareness of GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security hardening. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could hinder transparency and trust in case of security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, leveraging Google Fonts and jQuery 3.5.1. It integrates Google Tag Manager and HubSpot forms for marketing automation and analytics. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for bot protection on forms and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and images, and lazy loading techniques are employed. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data for organization and logo. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a digital marketing consultancy, though hosting provider details are not explicit. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility 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.
