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

Nordsense is a technology company specializing in smart waste management solutions using IoT sensors and data analytics to optimize waste collection and improve sustainability. The company targets smart cities, waste collectors, campuses, and NGOs, providing services such as smart bin sensors, asset tracking, and intelligent routing. Their market position is that of an innovative mid-sized player with international reach, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Denmark. Technically, the website is built on WordPress hosted on AWS infrastructure, leveraging modern SEO tools like Yoast and analytics platforms including Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and uses cookie consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR. However, some accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and domain status locks but lacks DNSSEC and some recommended security headers. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with the company's business goals. Strategic improvements in security policies and technical hardening are recommended to further strengthen the security posture 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

4 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 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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

Nordsense operates in the technology and transportation sectors, focusing on smart waste management solutions. Their business model is B2B SaaS combined with IoT hardware, targeting municipalities, waste management companies, campuses, and NGOs. The company demonstrates growth through multiple case studies showing measurable environmental and operational benefits. Their partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and industry stakeholders, though no explicit partners are listed on the site. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting its competitive advantage in sustainability and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status locks in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent gaps. No published security policy or incident response contacts were found, limiting transparency in security governance. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with a cookie consent mechanism, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced domain security and formalized security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with a well-maintained tech stack including Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. Hosting is provided by AWS, ensuring reliable infrastructure. Performance is optimized with minified CSS/JS and lazy loading of images. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. Technical risks include the lack of DNSSEC and incomplete security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
