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

Liedholms Maskinteknik AB is a well-established Swedish manufacturing company specializing in advanced welding, pressure vessel production, and machine construction. Founded in 1948 and based in Helsingborg, the company offers comprehensive services including project management, design, procurement, and certification. Their market position is strong within the industrial manufacturing sector, supported by recognized certifications such as ASME U and PED compliance. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting industrial clients requiring high-quality welding and pressure vessel solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and accessibility features, although some improvements could be made in accessibility and performance tuning. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms. However, it lacks several recommended security headers and does not provide explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy compliance is acknowledged with a GDPR-compliant privacy policy, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a notable gap. Overall, the website presents a low risk with a solid security posture and good business credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent, and publishing incident response contacts to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

11 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

Liedholms operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on welding and pressure vessels, serving industrial clients primarily in Sweden. Their business model combines manufacturing with project services, including design and certification. The company leverages certifications and quality standards to maintain competitive advantage. Partnerships with web production and marketing firms indicate a mature digital presence. Growth indicators include recent news about ownership changes and certification renewals. The company targets medium to large industrial clients requiring certified welding and pressure vessel solutions. Their marketing ecosystem includes Google and Facebook tracking tools, supporting targeted outreach and retargeting efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and abuse. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could delay response to security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie regulations.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated page with incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize risk from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance optimization to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, which provides responsive design and a rich feature set. It uses jQuery and various JavaScript libraries for UI and analytics integration. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and Google Tag Manager is used for marketing tags. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization especially in script loading and caching. The site is mobile-friendly and has basic accessibility features. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security-related technical improvements are recommended.
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.
