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

InsureSec is a Swedish industry regulatory organization owned by Svenska Försäkringsförmedlares förening (SFM), focused on enhancing the quality and compliance of insurance advisory services in Sweden. Their website provides comprehensive information about knowledge tests, reporting, disciplinary processes, and regulatory frameworks aimed at insurance intermediaries and companies. The site targets insurance professionals and companies seeking to comply with industry standards and regulations. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.6.0 and autosize, with a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. The site is served over HTTPS, though explicit security headers are not visible in the HTML source. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, indicating good privacy compliance. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data for the exact subdomain is unavailable, but the domain appears legitimate based on business information and organizational ownership. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, serving a niche regulatory function in the Swedish insurance sector.

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

9 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. 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

  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 · 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

InsureSec operates as a specialized regulatory body within the Swedish insurance finance sector, owned by a recognized industry association (SFM). Its business model revolves around providing regulatory oversight, knowledge testing, reporting, and disciplinary services to insurance intermediaries and distributors. The organization targets insurance professionals, companies, and investors requiring compliance assurance and quality advisory services. The website reflects a focused market position with clear service offerings and a partnership ecosystem including related domains like radgivarregistret.se for advisor searches. The absence of phone contact and social media presence suggests a formal, institutional approach rather than direct consumer marketing. The site content and navigation support a professional audience with relevant updates and regulatory information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form submissions to trusted external domains. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) are detected in the HTML source, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. The lack of an incident response or security policy page indicates potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a regulatory information site but could be improved with additional security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding phone contact and social media channels to improve user engagement and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technical stack with jQuery 3.6.0 and autosize.js for UI enhancements. The CSS and JavaScript are custom and versioned, indicating active maintenance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and clear navigation menus. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the HTML source. Performance is moderate, with no heavy external dependencies or analytics scripts detected, which benefits privacy and speed. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to modernize with security headers and enhanced accessibility.
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.
