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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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

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

Nordic Water targets municipal and industrial water treatment sectors, leveraging its long-standing reputation and parent company Sulzer's backing. Its business model focuses on B2B sales of water purification products and services, including filtration, sedimentation, and screening technologies. The company maintains a comprehensive product portfolio and emphasizes sustainability and innovation. Market positioning is strong with global reach and certifications such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The website content and structure support clear communication to technical and procurement audiences, enhancing competitive advantage and customer trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and multiple security headers, indicating a robust security baseline. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party analytics and tracking pixels is moderate and balanced with privacy compliance measures. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize an incident response plan and contact channels for security incidents.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies related to analytics and tracking.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js framework integrated with Storyblok CMS, enabling dynamic content management and fast rendering. It uses standard web performance optimizations including image preloading and responsive design. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, and Google Tag Manager, supporting comprehensive user behavior tracking. The technical implementation is clean with no broken elements detected and good accessibility features. Hosting details are not explicit but performance and security configurations suggest a professional hosting environment. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adding progressive web app features and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
