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

Penneo A/S operates a secure digital signing and KYC workflow platform targeting businesses seeking to simplify complex document workflows. Established in 2013, the company has positioned itself as a trusted provider with a strong customer base and significant usage metrics, particularly in Denmark. The website reflects a professional B2B SaaS model with integrations into common business software. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, hosted on AWS infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with consent mechanisms in place but lacking explicit privacy and cookie policies. Business credibility is high, supported by social proof and structured data. Overall, the site is well-designed and functional but could improve transparency and security hardening.

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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

Penneo targets firms requiring legally valid digital signing and identity verification workflows, serving sectors that demand compliance and efficiency. Their competitive advantage lies in seamless integration with CRM, ERP, and accounting systems, and a strong presence in the Nordic market. The business model is subscription-based SaaS with a focus on workflow automation. Growth indicators include millions of documents signed and high customer satisfaction scores. The company maintains active social media channels and leverages marketing tools like Google Ads and VWO for optimization. Strategic partnerships are implied through integrations but no explicit partner domains were identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS spoofing risks. No explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) were detected in the provided data, representing an area for improvement. The site uses consent mode to restrict ad and analytics storage by default, indicating privacy-conscious design. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers, DNSSEC, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish incident response contact information and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Improve accessibility features and provide clearer contact information on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with Yoast SEO for search optimization and uses Google Tag Manager and Visual Website Optimizer for analytics and A/B testing. Hosting is on AWS as indicated by DNS servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site uses modern fonts and icon libraries. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for technical security improvements. The site structure and metadata are well-formed, supporting SEO and social sharing. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy transparency.
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.
