75/100

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

Instabox is a Swedish parcel delivery service operated by Instabee Group AB, specializing in delivering parcels to smart boxes with same-day delivery options. The company partners with numerous reputable online retailers, positioning itself as a convenient logistics solution for e-commerce customers in Sweden. The website is built using modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, hosted likely behind Cloudflare services, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and domain registration consistent with business claims; however, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but should enhance privacy and security disclosures to align with best practices.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Instabox operates in the transportation and e-commerce sectors, offering parcel delivery services integrated with online retailers. The business model focuses on providing smart box delivery solutions to enhance customer convenience and reduce traditional postal delays. The company has established a broad partnership ecosystem with many well-known Swedish retailers, indicating strong market presence and growth potential. The domain age and WHOIS data support the legitimacy and maturity of the business. Revenue streams likely include logistics fees charged to retailers and possibly end customers. The company targets online shoppers in Sweden, leveraging technology to streamline parcel delivery. Strategic observations include the need to improve privacy compliance and security transparency to maintain competitive advantage and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has a domain status of 'ok' with a reputable registrar, indicating a baseline secure posture. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity to secure DNS queries against spoofing. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies publicly available, which could hinder timely security issue management. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are absent, raising GDPR compliance concerns. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but would benefit from enhanced DNS security, security headers, and formalized security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and incident response contact channels to improve security transparency and responsiveness.
  5. Include clear contact information and data protection officer details to enhance trust and regulatory compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering capabilities, improving performance and SEO. Hosting appears to leverage Cloudflare DNS and possibly CDN services, enhancing availability and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and good navigation clarity. However, SEO optimization is basic, with some meta tags present but lacking comprehensive descriptions. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved for better inclusivity. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or headless architecture. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and preloading of CSS assets. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce operational risks.
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.
