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

Linderoths is a Swedish media and branding agency focused on building brands for the new digital reality. The company has recently restructured into two distinct business units, Ebb and Sidekick, to better address the diverse needs of their clients. Ebb focuses on brand-driven business development and strategic challenges, while Sidekick provides coordination and implementation services such as store communication, design, events, and procurement. The website clearly communicates this transition and provides comprehensive contact information and legal documentation, reflecting a professional and client-focused approach. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins including Yoast SEO, LayerSlider, and Contact Form 7. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking, with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and transparency. The overall risk assessment is low, with no signs of malicious activity or blocking mechanisms. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and improving accessibility. The website presents a trustworthy and professional image suitable for its target audience of businesses seeking branding and marketing services.

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

    • 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.

Business context

Business profile

Linderoths operates as a medium-sized Swedish media agency with a clear market position in brand building and marketing services. The recent split into two specialized units, Ebb and Sidekick, reflects a strategic move to better serve distinct client needs and scale operations effectively. Their business model is agency-based, offering both strategic brand development and practical coordination services. The company targets businesses facing growth challenges, brand identity issues, and operational marketing needs. The presence of professional contact details, legal documents, and GDPR compliance indicates a mature business with established processes. Partnerships with the spun-off units Ebb and Sidekick suggest a collaborative ecosystem. The website content and structure support a professional and client-centric approach, positioning Linderoths as a reliable partner in the Swedish media sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS enabled and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact channels indicates a gap in transparency and preparedness. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which are best practices for modern websites. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened by adopting additional security controls and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

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.
