Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Mips is a Swedish company specializing in helmet safety technology, providing a patented low-friction layer system designed to reduce rotational forces on the brain during impacts. The company partners with over 150 helmet brands across various sports and industries, positioning itself as a leading innovator in helmet safety. The website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and tracking tools, offering good content quality and user experience. However, it lacks visible privacy, cookie, and security policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled but could be improved by adding DNSSEC and security headers. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the company's credibility.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Mips operates in the manufacturing and retail sectors, focusing on safety technology for helmets used in biking, motorsport, snow sports, equestrian, climbing, and construction. Its business model includes licensing its safety system to helmet manufacturers and educating consumers on helmet safety. The company targets a broad audience of helmet users and professional athletes, leveraging partnerships with major brands to maintain a strong market position. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a professional online presence, though it could enhance transparency by publishing detailed privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks implementation of DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates gaps in compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but could be improved by adopting additional security controls and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including security contact emails.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2 with Yoast SEO Premium for search engine optimization and Google Tag Manager for analytics. It uses modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with AOS for animations. The site is mobile optimized and has good navigation clarity. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS is managed via Excedo DNS servers. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and rich media content. There is room for improvement in security configurations and privacy compliance. No forms or data collection mechanisms were detected on the homepage, reducing immediate data protection concerns.
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.
