Security report for malmodesignervillage.com

Malmö Designer Village · Retail · Sweden

Partial score · DNS & email only

56/100

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

Malmö Designer Village is a premium retail outlet project positioned as the largest outlet in Scandinavia and the first premium outlet village serving the Greater Copenhagen region. The business model focuses on offering discounted fashion and lifestyle brands to residents and tourists in the Malmö and Copenhagen area. The website is built on the Squarespace platform, featuring professional design and clear navigation but lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support. This is a critical security shortfall. The site includes a contact form for inquiries but does not provide explicit email addresses or phone numbers. Privacy compliance is minimal, with a basic privacy policy page but no cookie consent mechanism. Social media presence is limited to LinkedIn. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate digital maturity but requires significant security improvements to protect user data and build trust.

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

3 findings 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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.
  • 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 business targets cross-border shoppers and tourists in the Scandinavian region, leveraging its strategic location near Malmö and Copenhagen. It is managed by FREY and developed in cooperation with RIOJA Estates and OUTLET INSIGHT. The outlet will host over 130 international and Scandinavian brands, offering year-round discounts. The website content emphasizes premium aesthetics and architecture, appealing to a young and wealthy demographic. The business model is retail-focused with a strong real estate development component. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized industry players, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include planned opening in 2027 and marketing efforts such as news updates and social media engagement.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS, exposing visitors to potential data interception risks. While some security headers like HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options are present, the lack of TLS protocol support and OCSP stapling reduces overall security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Forms are protected by CAPTCHA, but no explicit security policies or contact channels for security incidents are visible. Immediate remediation of SSL issues and enhancement of security policies are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure OCSP stapling and session resumption.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish comprehensive security and incident response policies including contact channels for abuse or security issues.
  5. Add explicit company contact emails and phone numbers to improve trust and communication.
  6. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and improve user experience.
  7. Regularly audit and update security headers and frameworks to align with best practices.
  8. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization for broader user reach.
  9. Maintain consistent branding and update content regularly to reflect business developments.
  10. Explore certifications or trust seals to boost credibility.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its built-in CMS and hosting infrastructure. It uses Typekit and Google Fonts for typography and embeds YouTube videos and external media via Embedly. The site lacks HTTPS due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate, which is a critical technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the site likely experiences slow loading due to missing SSL and lack of session resumption. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No advanced frameworks or analytics tools are detected. Technical debt includes outdated SSL configuration and missing privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
